Aug 31, 2015 · The 2 species are frequently mixed up. Berber Skinks are from Morocco which stopped legal export of wildlife back in the 1990's. Schneider Skinks kind of filled the void. Both have similar coloration but Berbers get much more robust in size. Berbers are very scarce in captivity though are a little more available in Europe than in the states.

Jun 25, 2014 · Hi there I'm located in Canada, very interested in getting a fire skink or schneider skink. Looking for someone in Canada or someone that can ship to canada preferably not over $200 shipping.

Mar 25, 2021 · True Berber skinks are all but non existant here in the US. I've seen them one time in person at my friend's shop. They are larger and not at all as personable as their cousins, the Schnieder's. Many times Schneider's are labelled as Berber's which is incorrect.

Mar 2, 2011 · Instead, I've been doing research on Schneider's Skink and theres a chance I might just get one . I found a site thats entirely about their care and it seems like they'll be a good choice. I've heard some of them can become quite tame but not as tame as a BTS but that's fine with me . Other herps I'm also debating on either a Crested Gecko or ...

Jun 16, 2017 · As July approaches I await the birth of a baby skink! So excited for July-ish and the birth of a baby Northern! Anyway, I had a question about substrate. I was going to use a mixture of Coconut fiber and repti-bark and keep it semi moist so its not dusty. I use this setup for my Salamanders (including large water bowls) and they LOVE to burrow ...

Apr 9, 2015 · I have the opportunity to obtain a pink tongue skink and am wondering if aquatic ramshorn snails are acceptable as their main snail food source?

Thanks in advance.
