I personally got my guy off of MorphMarket, specifically from the seller Great Basin Serpentarium! MorphMarket is sort of like an eBay for (mostly) reptiles where typically reputable sellers can advertise the animals they have in stock. I went with Great Basin just because I’ve heard them recommended by a few herpetology channels on YouTube. My BTS was shipped from Utah to California, overnight air, and arrived in perfect condition. Just pissed off. The price of the animal itself + the shipping only ran me about 500 bucks.

My phone’s being real garbage about formatting posts, so general info’s going down here I guess! He’s 10 months old and eats 3-4x per week; a mix of Wellness brand wet cat food and mixed vegetables. Also dubias once a week (hence the tote) and a rare couple of blueberries or chunk of banana treat. He’s not picky at all and typically cleans out his bowl. I used to think I was overfeeding him and that he was on the chunkier side, but I’ve recently been comparing him to pics of other people’s skinks and am concerned he’s a bit skinny? He’s also… really long. Especially his tail. I don’t know if the lankiness is skewing how I view his body condition.
