Im getting a pair of blue tongue skinks and i dont know if i should breed or sell them? Would there be buyers for the babys?

You can be sure that I'd buy babies or adults!

Anyone else be int in babys? You surely wont buy all of them lol..if im selling the adults it would be R1600 male and R1700 fem. Is that too pricey?

Elleria I would not be so sure of the sexing. These are very difficult to sex so unless they have actually bred them you are taking a guess.

I think there will always be a market for these skinks.

They do very well in captivity if properly looked after.

They bred last year. Can i feed them hills wet can cat food?

Nope stay away from catfood. Rather give them dogfood. Only 25 percent of their diet should be protein and 25 percent fruit and 50 percent leaves and flowers.

Go look up Tiliqua husbandry on google and you will find lots of info on them.
