OK, so this week is the week of the skink, even though their will be at least one other on the list. This is one of the most sought after animals in the reptile community, and it demands quite a hefty price. Commonly referred to as the bobtail skink, or sleepy lizard, this animal is slow and feasts on mostly snails, and vegetation. This lizard can grow to lengths of 25 inches and it can also birth from 1 to 4 live young per season. Another interesting fact about this animal is that they are monogamous, and that the juveniles remain with their parents for several months after birth which is very uncommon of any cold blooded species! Here are a few pics for your fix.....
