New here Hi everyone

Postby The Londoner » Sat Jan 19, 2008 1:23 pm

Just wanted to drop in and say Hi from the UK and what a wonderful site this is I am new to the world of the Blue Tongued Skink so new infact that I have not got mine yet :) .
That is why I am glad I found this site because there is so much information on here, I have bought all the housing heat mat and everything that I will need to make my skinks life as comfortable as possible. When it all gets here I will set it all up and leave it for a week before I go in search of my skink :lol: I have had a bit of a look round here and it seems that in the UK well at least the part where I live skinks are a little hard to find but I am not going to give up, I want to get a baby skink and I am going to call him Taz when I get him I will post some pictures
Every day's a new day blessed be!

Gods, do I feel for you with the Olympics. . . but your house price values should skyrocket for a while! (did they ever fix that hideous logo that gave people seizures?)
I'm in Seattle and we have the Vancouver B.C. Olympics in 2010. Its gonna make for snowboarding Hell around here! :evil:

I believe theres a place called Reptile Ranch in Maybank Road, i can't find any stock lists for them though so i don't know if they have any, but worth asking about. Also they seem to have a pretty good reputation for their animal care.
Hope that helps :D

Hello mate, good luck with you search for a Northern, you may be better of trying to find an Irian Jaya, thats what I've got and they do seem more popular in the herp shops, I'd look at herp specific shops ,rather than a bog standard pet shop(Pets at home type thing) I notice you said you had a heat mat, I dont need one as he's in the spare room and unless your place gets below 15C at night,no need for it mate,they like to get below 20C at night,its natural. As mentioned check out the caresheet(most answers to most questions),print the food chart(somethings are not the same names over here)and good luck with the hunt.
