red rugosus, asper, konowi, multifasciata, nigrolutea.......

Postby Kin » Sat Dec 15, 2007 9:11 am

Hello, just want to share some of my collection with you guys.
These pics were taken a while ago.
My skinks are all now in brumation.
Hopefully they will produce some babies for me next year.......


Red T.r.rugosus from Kalgoorlie/Coolgardie area. Extremely rare in the market. I think they are the most difficult to obtain among all the Shinglebacks. My top favourite BTS.

Here are 2.1 (the white male should be located somewhere between Perth and Kalgoorlie/Coolgardie area)
Image


Another fat super colorful female
Image


A very valuable birthday gift from Pipa (Thank you my friend ! )
Although she is not that colorful, she is also originated from Kalgoorie/Coolgardie area. According to Pipa's information, the most important point is she accepted every males in the past (which is a rare phenomenon in Shinglebacks). I believe she should be able to produce some real red babies if breed her with a red male from the same area.

Konowi
Image



Asper from Broken Hill area
Image


Another pair from Broken Hill area
Image


Pair from Eyre Peninsula
Image


Rugosus near Perth
Image



Nigrolutea
Image



Multifasciata......always nervous.......
Image


Thanks for looking.
Will post more pics later............

Nice collection. I am very envious.

What is the substrate that you use? It looks like sani-chips aspen bedding and alfalfa pellets mixed together. It looks nice.
