BTS!! BTS!! My ultimate dream reptile... They are the greatest lizard out there.
Big (and slow) enough to handle regularly, most actually seem to enjoy being held, they don't ONLY eat smelly crickets, they're beautiful... I could go on forever.
The only big drawback is that they need a BIG enclosure with lots of floor space. That, and the price, is why I don't have one yet.
If you can provide the space, varied diet, warmth and money to get one, then Go For It!! I've loved them ever since I bonded with the two at the zoo I worked at. The female loved to wrap around the back of my neck like a stole and gave regular skink kisses.![]()
