New Here!

Hi everyone!
So i'm a new member here. I don't own any frogs (yet) but have my eye on Pacmans .
I have 2 Adult true fire skinks, 2 Baby true fire skinks, 1 snapping turtle, 1 painted turtle, 21 hermit crabs (i know alot ) and 1 dog.
Thats pretty much all...

Welcome aboard. I have a fire skink too. Why do they always call them "true" fire skinks? I have never seen a false one. That has always confused me.

Thanks for the welcome!
I actually have no idea, but the name just stuck to me i guess...

When ever I see them for sale in the pet stores, 9 out of 10 times it says "true" fire skink on the tag.

Hmm I havn't seen them labeled that. Welcome. Did you breed your skinks to get the two babies? Is it a regular snapper or a alligator snapper?

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Yes, i did. they had 12 eggs before and since i can't incubate eggs they died , and than i got the petstore to incubate them, and the two babies died, and then i had 2 more babies, and now one died on Friday, but the other one is healthy and growing. Here is a pic of the baby:
