I'll post some pics in the next day or so. By the way, mine is tame and tamed very quickly after purchase, but he was in a freindly pet store with knowledgable staff for at least a month before i got him so they did alot of the hard work i think. I have a whole bunch of names for him but the one i like to call him the most is Rutherford B. Skink

I guess you never know what people will say to get rid of a lizard.

, you won't find cb indos anywhere, WC is the only source.
If the skink is happy and healthy, and your happy with it, where it came from isn't such a big deal.
, have you tried hand feeding a banana or some chicken, he'll calm down when he realises you're good for a snack and dont want to snack on him.

It's not like WC is the absolute end of the world, just think of it like a tanny with parasite problems. Once you fix the probable health issues, you just need to take a lot of time and patience to get it to enjoy spending time with you, or at least put up with it. Now a WC tanny? Think of it like a bomb with parasite problems.

No need for the
I love indos, I want another one one day, after I get a northern though.
I really want to try breeding indos also, I think humidity may be a breeding trigger.

I generally agree, the only problem is that they are sold as if they are happy friendly reptiles ready to be great pets. Not only is that not true, but the care information given to customers is almost entirely false as well as the proper identification. On top of that, the means in which these animals are captured and shipped is appalling. So, generally speaking, if you have a happy skink, you're right, where it comes from is not a huge deal, but at the same time, don't support it!!
Welcome, Gennie! He looks like a fine Indo.
