Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

vet recheck
I have made the second visit to the vet, as of this morning. I am having them tested for parasites and so on. Fingers crossed for negative results and health improvement.
The biggest male weighed 392 and continues to lose weight, as shown when visiting the vet today and was at 392 grams . Jasper is down from 322, to 311 grams, despite the 3-4 hour feedings of liquefied greens and fruits.
Average weight for solomon island skinks is between 500 and 850 grams.
I will add updates, here.

The fact that the OP conveniently left out her despicable texts ("low life scum sucking low level human being"), which displayed nothing but civil responses from Nick, shows what I believe are her true colors. I personally wouldn't buy a fern from that psycho. Nick, if she can prove vet expenses, aend her that amount and walk away. Just sayin'.

Just a simple question. You know why I'm asking, which is why you won't answer. I'm glad you guys have an agreement. If and when Nick makes this right, I would risk doing business with him in the future. You? No way.

To be more clear, Babbaduk arrived with 20% of his lowest desired body weight, gone and emaciated. Mind you, Babbaduk is a very large skink that is the length of my arm, so I would guess he should be AT LEAST a 7-800 gram skink.
Jasper arrived with about 36% of his lowest desired body weight, wasted away. I'm estimating Jasper at an average size and weight and should probably be a 3-400 gram skink.
That would be like you arriving at my house, whereyour lowest desired/healthy weight is supposed to be 150 lbs and you show up weighing 120 lbs, or 54 lbs.....

500 being the lowest...he should have arrived here at no less than 500 grams, of course....
At optimum weight Jasper should probably be at least 500-600 grams.
