If he said she "laid" slugs then he is lying and uninformed, because blue-tongued skinks give live birth.

I'm not sure how he worded it, Id have to go back and check but either way she would not and should not look like this just from birthing slugs.
Also just discovered she has mites. Lovely.

Would you share a link to the ad in question please?

I can tell from the markings that it's the same skink. Must be old pics.

Yes I believe it's the same skink, that's not my issue, I was sold a $2,000 skink that was represented in the ad as a healthy skink. What I received was not what was advertised, that's my issue with the whole thing.
Now it's going to cost me even more for the vet visit and mite treatment.
Ugh.

Seems like it was the whole "to good to be true" scenario. He sold you a skink listed for $2100 for $1000?

No I don't know why I put 1,000. I definitely paid 2,000. Tried to offer him a few hundred less but he insisted on selling her for more. I definitely thought it was worth it for such a nice looking skink, and if she had arrived at a healthy weight Id have absolutely no issues. (Other than the mites she has)
But charging me 2 grand for a skink that is this unhealthy, is outrageous.

The mites are inexcusable as well.

I definitely was in no way excusing any of this, was just an observation
