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.

Babies
Congratulations!
You said "babies" so I take that as "twins" or did you have multiple females giving birth?

In the late 70's a few specimens trickled out of the Solomons. On price lists at that time they were quite expensive.....1,500.00 each and that was in the late 70's as I mentioned. Then in the early 80's a few indonesian dealers set up in the Solomons and started exporting. It got to the point where up to 2000 specimens or more were being exported each month. Prices were as low as 17.00 each. I however, disagree with the belief that they can sustain this level of wild harvest. This species is a live bearer with 1-2 babies being born every 2-3 years. Not exactly prolific! Every thing about this species centers around adaptation to isolated insular environments.

Gestation is usually 6-7 months. Females usually will not breed again for 11-16 months.

I may not agree with you Vince but, I can't say it goes to dislike. In regards to the skinks I would be happy to help out. It would make quite a long thread which at the moment I can't go into. I will reply here in detail when I have more time and maybe I can post some pics with the stages of development and sexing.
