We did a swap for a trio of them. 1 water python for them and also got 3 blue tongues.
Average price over here is $200/$250 a pr for these.
The s.a and w.a form of golden/yellows ive seen as high as $1000 the pr.

cheers pete

£600 to £800 each in the UK, $3K to $5K each in the USA - and it's the most common skink in Australia! I've personally found that the Egernia Depressa is the hardest of the skinks to source in Europe, and one of the most expensive.
