Aww, I love the berbers! So cute! Cool

Sorry, I have no experience but they are also named Schneider's skinks so might be worth looking for caresheets under that name aswell, if you havent already that is! Wink

How many do you have? Cool

thanks for replies Smile

Well, I have 2 which are still unnamed and they are doing pretty well at the minute. Think they are ok as they are using both the cold and hot end of their 'viv' and they are eating fine. I let them out into my bathroom (secured) for a run and a climb. They are fun to watch.... one climbed up my knee, into my shirt sleeve and out my shirt neck Razz

Apparently they are male and female but I cannot confirm this. They both share orange patterns but one is almost black whilst the other is grey. They grey one is bigger also.

By the way, the berbers in the pictures at the top of the thread aren't mine; they were googled for a fast pic. If you wish to see the berbers - http://www.captivebred.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14389

hi, lovely skinks, and liek the viv you made, we had ours in a tub for a bit when we got them as we just kinda got given them as the guy couldnt keep them any more..they are now in a n ice 4 ft viv with uv which they have never had before.
they are very friendly, as trese has already said we apparently have a pair.. but other than a shade difference i cant tell the sex atall.
