Ran across this ad in the skink forum,he is clearly trying to sell imported blue tongue skinks as captive breds.

This is 1 of the pics from the ad.

Ed, how do you know they are WC?

Did not say wild caught.

Said imports, not ruling out WC though.probably CH imports. that is when the natives catch gravid females and hold them until they drop a litter of babies.then all kinds of bad things happen to that adult that dropped the litter of babies.

Like the females get exported,many of those mothers will die in shipment or maybe they don't get exported and just eaten.

Read keven2's ad.
title says captive born and the body of ad says captive bred.
they sure as hell are not captive bred.

He just orders from strictly and resells at a bit above their price, his sales lists always mimicks theres with a slight raised price

Assuming he did get these animals from Strictly, how does that tell us that they are WC? Doesn't Strictly sell both imports and CBB?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a fan of Keven either, BUT, there is a sad lack of evidence on this thread and it’s looking a little too much like the Salem trials for my taste. Can anyone actually substantiate the wc origins, and if not, can we stop the baseless bashing?

For those of us who, like me, do not keep and who are not familiar with skinks, can you point out how you can determine this from the ad and/or pictures?

To my knowledge, true CB skinks are in the $250 - $350 range.

That isn't to say his aren't, I don't know for certain. I myself would ask who the breeder was, as anyone who has bought CB skinks would have that information for their potential customers.

This.....all day long, especially considering the source.
