New Skink species check it out Never Before Seen!!!

I have a newly discovered species of skink. These guys are the Fat Neck Skinks. These are similiar to the east african short necked skink (Mayuba Brevicollis)but a completely different newly discovered species. The latin is (Trachylepis Sp.)similiar to the Blue tongue. These guys came from the famed MBT Animal Farm in Arusha Tanzania.

This particular group are actually F1 captive born adults that the owner of MBT produced and has used for breeding. This species of skink is a live bearer and has about 4 babies per birth. Each skink will reach about 8 inches in length. They are very thick bodied and are sexually dimorphic as well. Babies are born about 2 inches in length. These skinks feed on crickets as well as super worms and other invertabrates and drink by hand misting and also from a bowl.

I have adults and also some of the offspring from the adults as well.

Get in on the ground floor for this newly available breeding project. These animals will probably never be available again.

I have a PDF file written about this species by Ranier Gunther, Alison Whiting and Aaron Bauer that I can provide any potential customer to show that indeed this is a new species and has never been seen in the reptile trade. These guys will be invaluable as a breeding project.

Interesting, but not that attractive. I'm sure a few specialist may want to aquire them, but if you don't mind me asking, what justifies the $1000.00 a pair price tag? I'm brought in several new and rare obscure species in the past, I wish I sold them that at a price high!

These are an extremely rare species that were bred by Joe Bareducci of MBT Animal farm in Tanzania. They were just discovered this year. Please email me at josh@fybexotics.com and I will email you back with a PDF file Taxonomy report about these.

I am sorry but this species isnt has rare as you are led on to believe they are, I personal think buddy at MBT animal farm is trying to make big bucks off you brother, I imported 20 of this exact same species from Tanzania, and the guy I got them from also lives in Arusha. These are really just a newly discovered subspecies of the Short-necked skink. The short neck skink mostly lives in Kenya to north of Ethiopia and found in only 3 small locations in tanzania, but recent discoveries is that there are far more locations then originally thought.
The 20 I imported the males and females looked exactly the same and all were collected In Tanzania, buddy called them captive bred but these skinks are easily bred, in the wild they give live birth as many as 6 to 7 times per year, and in captivity they breed pretty easily as well, and since they give live births up to 6 babies, it would not take to long to breed out a good size population. This species needs to be in large social groups to thrive in captivity so they can build a social structure, they are pretty intelligent skinks. I am waiting to see if you get what you are asking for these skinks.
Just as those so called striped olive house snakes that you posted on kingsnake for sale, You said they were collected on Mt Kilimanjaro, but I hate to break it to you but the Olive House snake Lamprophis Olivaceus is not found in Eastern tanzania, there maybe sporadic locations in north western Tanzania, but it is found in uganda, west passed Nigeria the striped species of house snake that was collected on Mt Kilimanjaro is really the striped phase of the brown house snake which may be called Lamprophis Lineatus because some herptologist believe that it is in fact a sub species.
Not trying to be rude bro but maybe you should research the animals you sell thoroughly before posting them.
I keep a large number of African Herpifauna and have been researching many african species over the years.
