How are these to keep compared to BTS?

That is crazy awesome! I totally would have one if they were more commonly available CB. :slight_smile:

Hopefully the female and eggs do well!

I have been considering one or a pair of these. How do you think they did adapting to captivity, were they easy or difficult?

they are eager breeders. Theres quite a lot cb now :slight_smile:

like most skinks that are WC and there are a lot, they are hardy and thrive.
In 1988 I had my first skink. Eumaces schnederii. She was adult WC. I had her until I was 24. I was 8 when I got her. They are pains to breed sadly.
These guys need a good depth of substrate, good uv and a basking spot. Humidity is crucial. However skinks are the most hardiest group of lizards out there. Omnivores too means they adapt very well indeed

A lot different tbh. More secretive. I find Blueys more “in yer face” skinks. These will turn tail and run, where as a bluey will happily tell you to back off if needed lol
