Thanks for the welcome.
I was told he/she was captive born but the seller didn't know it's age, so I can't be absolutely sure. I did purchase a baby blue tongue skink from this seller before and I have been completely satisfied with that little guy so I took a 'flyer' on this one. What I do know is that he was clean when I got him. No mites or parasites, so I'm hopeful.
Now I've only had this guy for a few months and there's not a huge amount of care info online, so if anyone has experience with these guys I'd appreciate any tips you could give me. He's eating and pooping so I hope I'm caring for him appropriately.
He was eating crickets before but I hate crickets so I've moved him over to dubia roaches and he eats them, but I don't think they're satisfying his need to hunt so I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get him some crickets now and then.
In a past life in Canada, I kept snakes and would love to do so again, but here in China it's not something many people do, (at least not as pets) so sourcing them has been tough. I have my feelers out though.
