Catching my own pets

I really like broadhead skinks, but I have never seen any for sale, captive bred or wild caught. What would I need to give them to kill off any parasites they have if I catch a few babies?

My guess is you would neet to give them a vet trip.

You might want to also check your local laws. Many states have prohibitions about disturbing and capturing native wildlife.

External parasites would be the lesser of your worries compared to the internal parasites a wild lizard would probably have. I would say x2 to a vet visit.

Also if you do catch one, keep it away from the rest of your collection.

This. Before you go catching a wild critter, make sure it's legal in your state to do so.
