While BTS seem to be owned by a lot of people, they always seem to be among the last to be sold. Skinks as a whole are underrated in comparsion to the agamids, gekkonids, igaunids and varanids. They are definitely one of my favourite families of reptiles...

Found all the way from Nepal down to Papua New Guenia. There's some possibilities they might be extended down to northern Australia. However the species itself could very well have numerous specimen that are worthy of their own species status that have not been identified yet. There is at least a few dozens different forms of the Mabuya multifasciata. However skink genera themselves are poorly researched, although most Mabuya are sexable via the head using the same technique of looking how narrow the heads are and the angle they slant at. Only a few people I know can do this; most have to breed them to find out.

I reject some of the new classifications of the Mabuya since they are based on geographical distribution, not genetic.

I don't use UV for any of them...

Skink infants have a tendency to dehydrate easily though.

Very cool skinks! I especially like the Schneiders and the fire skink.
