Fire Skink breeders and Pics

Hiya! I've been anamored with fire skinks for a while but quite a few sources i find selling them are wild caught. Are there any really good Fire skink breeders i should be aware of when the time comes to add one of these gorgeous skinks to my tiny (but growing!) reptile collection?


I'd also love to see pictures of your Fires, blue tongues seem to take most the skink glory here, but i'm mostly interested in Fires.

It's been a little while since you posted, but I happened to stumble across this in a google search for, incidentally, other fire skink breeders! Haha

FWIW, I've been having quite a bit of success breeding my pair. When you're ready to try Fires, give me a shout!

(also, baby picture! because it's about the only picture I have on this computer)

Oh awesome! Those are some really pretty fire skinks! Why is it that not many people breed them? I'll definitely be sure to drop you a line when I'm ready to get a fire, I absolutely love their colors and (sometimes) their temperaments! Are captive bred fires more calm then similarly aged wild collected?

Not sure why more people don't breed- they aren't hard at all once they get going! If I were to guess at a reason, they're extremely difficult to sex and not a high dollar animal. I got lucky on the sexing front!

Temperament can still be hit or miss with CBB. My experience has been good so far, only had one CBB that was nippy, but he could still be handled and would hand feed. Not all will be friendly and handleable, but seems to be better odds than WC. To be absolutely fair in that, though, I only have experience with one WC juvenile so far- before this one, all my WC came to me as adults or sub-adult.
