    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Sexing fire skinks

This is what I read in Reptiles magazine, Quote "Adult male fire skinks tend to be larger, broader and and heavier-bodied than females. The male's tail base is also wider, and the tail tapers much more gradually. Males housed with other males often bear telltale scars of fighting on the tail, limbs and back, and these can be used to identify sex as well."

I hope that helps to answer your question!

One more thing beautiful skinks! Seeing them makes me more excited about me getting my fire skinks in a few weeks.
