    I guess they are kinda like long-tails. Very high speed though. I only caught the two I have with prevention. (Preventing them returning to their little hide hole. But a serious update, should I try next year to breed them? If I do, I don't want them to become a species that people mistreat mistakingly (like brown and green anoles)

    I kept a Five-lined Skink about 50 years ago. I bought it from a biological supply place in Kansas. The people that owned it were well known biologists by the name of Burke. It was a great place because they cared about the animals they sold. I feed it spiders, flies and a few meal worms.

    I said the people's name was Burke. That's wrong their name was Dr. Charles Burt. I believe his wife was named Nettie. I believe they were both biologist and they may have been Herpetologists.

    I am considering them, I cannot find anywhere to buy them and I cannot find them in the wild. I think it's more harmful in to take from the wild anyways. If they are already in captivity I feel it's better because I personally didn't take them and I can give them a good home. Keep your eyes open for me please. I am interested in them

    Sadly, not only am I outside of the Country, I traded them for the Rough-skinned newts. Look on Reptilesandcritters.com, reptilecity.com, and adds on Kingsnake.com. They have them occasionally, plus you could put wanted adds on here and on Kingsnake.com too
