Hello, I'm Tyler. I haven't been on this forum for about a year or more so most of you won't know me. I got my first and only skink, Element, on June 28, 2005. He is one of Ray's Easterns.

Here are two pictures of Element the day he came in the mail.

This is Element August 2006.

Here is Element today

I just cleaned his tank today so heres a picture of that too.

Sheesh, I always forgot how much I love element -- I think we may have to add the updated picture to the Eastern page. The cage looks great too -- that reminds me I still have two rolls of backdrop we need to add to our's....

Hi Tyler (and Element)! He looks very content in his nice enclosure. Would you mind listing the "props" you have in there? I'd love to replicate it myself!

Thanks,

Its actually more simple than it looks! I bought a bundle of plastic leaves from walmart. I cut one part of the leaf bundle off and glued it to the half log. The background makes it look like i have more flowers but the walmart leaves are the only greenery in there.

I think they have the same father.

He was around a month old when i got him. I haven't measured him in a while but I doubt he grew any, he was around 17 1/2 inches.

Nope it isn't the lighting, I tried to post pictures that show his true colors. I wish he would have kept his orange flanks, but now they are yellow-orange.
