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.

Emerald Tree Skinks
Just thought I would share some pictures of my emerald tree skink pair. I would be happy to answer questions about their captive care requirements

I have had success feeding them a variety of food choices, I have fed them crickets, green banana roaches, turkistan roaches, porcelain roaches, lobster roaches, red-head roaches, a variety of isopods, bean beetles, mealworm beetles, mealworms, waxworms, waxworm moth's, mango, plum, papaya, red banana and occasionally they will accept a small amount of organic canned dog food. I have heard they will also eat some types of flowers and nectar. They are found in Taiwan, Phillipines, eastern Indonesia, New Guinea and Solomon Islands. I have them in an 18X18X36" reptibreeze, I use a 10.0 UVB bulb and a 75 watt daytime basking spot bulb. They are a very hardy skink and one of my favorite species of reptile. I give them plenty of cork bark and sticks and a good amount of plants to help them feel safe. They also need a water dish deep enough to submerge themselves into and I give them about 4 inches of organic soil as bedding because they enjoy burrowing sometimes. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Thanks for the info. Have yours laid eggs yet? How far off off the main basking area are you keeping the basking bulb? What humidity level are you maintaining? I have two that are very young and they are in a Exo Terra 12x12x18 rainforest kit. I have a 5.0 UVB and a 50 watt basking light 10 inches off of the high point of the basking area. I'm feeding them Rapashy crested gecko meal replacement powder (What the store owner uses for the babies when they are born)and they are devouring it, and dusted very small crickets . Both are CB and came from a colony of seven.

No problem, the female has laid a few eggs but she hasnt laid any in the last couple of months. I would say probably about 6-8". I dont measure the humidity, I just spray them 5-6 times a week and when I spray them ill usually make sure to spray them quite a bit. What kind of cage are you using, is it glass or screen because I have notices they dont really like glass. They like to be able to climb all over the cage and it also enables them to get closer to the basking light to regulate their body temperature however they want. Sometimes mine will lay on the basking stick but sometimes they will climb up pretty close to the light using the screen. I've never tried feeding mine crested gecko diet but thats cool that it works. I would love to see some pics of them if you have any. How big are they right now, if he still has some I would be interested in getting a female.

They are very cute, they look like they are in great shape too. Thank you, I would love to get another female from them. I would also be willing to trade a breeding pair of black tree skinks for them if they are interested in those.

Yea I have a few. Its harder to get good quality pics of them because they are camera shy. I am actually trying to sell them right now because I am expanding my emerald tree skink breeding project and I am trying to sell the cage too.
