He's so cute and chubba! I would love to get him for Tony, but we're moving soon, (like in 2 weeks) and we'd need another cage, and well, if he's not taken soon, I may try and talk the other half into adopting him. It'll be about three weeks before that happens, though.
You guys are right, BTS's are like chips, nobody can have just one!

By the way, (OT) have any of your skinks ever tried to eat rcoks? Chuffer has been liking some of the rocks in the garden, ( I don't let him eat them, but he tries!) and I'm thinking, he thinks they're snails? Harrrrr? :shock:

question

Postby aggiegirl » Sun Jul 29, 2007 4:24 pm

Zach, he is a beauty (although Charlotte is of course the most beautiful skink on the face of the earth!) Is he darker than Charlotte or is it my imagination. I remember you said they all looked similar when they were born. Is there variation in their colors (or just our cameras?)

Babies look very similar (as babies), but with each shed they gain more of their permanent color. Has your baby shed yet? Update your profile!

Yay! I'm so happy that Gordy has a home! I was strongly considering taking him home, but this works out much better!! Now I will demand that lots of pictures be posted. I have a real soft spot for that little porker....

El Gordo here - Gordy to those who know me well. I have highjacked this thread to let everyone out there know that I have arrived at my new home. My trip was not enjoyable at all - It was bumpy and dark.
When I arrived I was tired, angry, not to mention hungry. I hissed to be let out of my packing chamber.
I am still getting used to my new home which is acceptable, for now, but really I am "EL GORDO" I must have supreme accommodations if I am to rule the world (or at least my little part of it 8) ).
Today I may come out of hiding to sample the fair left for me - I am hungry, I am always hungry.... I might even let my new person hold me but we shall see. I am in no mood for pictures to be taken of me so right now there are none. Maybe in the near future I will allow myself to be photographed and my new person can put them on here for all to be in awe of me El Gordo ruler of all :revenge: :bow1:
