Even better than the blueys in my experience - limited to a northern some 20 years ago. I have yet to see any aggression from these guys whatsoever. When they first arrived they were wiggly little things that wanted nothing more than to get safely away. I've probably only handled half a dozen times in the last 5 months, scooping up whichever skink was available at the time, to do a quick once over. I've noticed with each successive exam they've been a bit less determined to escape. They seemed to be getting accustomed to me through sight and routine alone as I doubt I grabbed the same skink every time. When I took them out today they were completely chill. Some would just sit in my hand, others would casually walk up my arm, but all seem to have lost their fear of me completely. They are also much more comfortable up in the air with that prehensile tail so naturally make a better choice for handling in my opinion.Originally Posted by jclaiborne
