These Lizards Live Like a Close-Knit Human Family! (Gidgee Skinks)

Gidgee Skinks are one of the most underrated lizards in the world. They are unique in that they will live in family groups of up to 15-20 animals! That is unheard of in the reptile world. In this video we go over the care and basics of Egernia stokesii. We also unveil a special project of gidgee skinks we are working with!

These guys are definitely awesome and definitely on my list to get next. I also breed red eyed crocodile skinks because they have family behavior. I love watching that kind of behavior in reptiles. They aren’t as dumb as some people think reptiles are. Keep up the great work over there wish you all the best 🙋‍♂️✌️

[@peterfennell7578]

U sellin any red eyed ? I’m interested

[@UnholyTrinityReptiles]

I am also interested, Ive been looking for a while .

[@pumpkinchow]

@@peterfennell7578 by spring I should have more babies for sale. If your truly interested let me know and I’ll add you to the list. I’ll most likely post video when the babies are born and another when they are old enough to ship. So stay tuned and let me know if you want to get added to the list. Hope you have a great day and wish you the best.🙋‍♂️✌️

[@pumpkinchow]

@@UnholyTrinityReptiles I’ll post videos of when they’re born and another when they are old enough to ship. Let me know if your truly interested and I’ll add you to the list. Yeah they definitely make awesome pets and they enclosures can look amazing depending on how much you are willing to spend on plants and everything. Mine are all bioactive with nice water features there’s videos on here if you want to check them out sometime. Well let me know and I hope you have a great day and wish you all the best 🙋‍♂️✌️

I love the emerald tree skinks. It would be so cool to keep a group of them

[@xturtlex84]

I love these guys. And they are communal? Even better. The babies are so cute.

[@zsworld6609]

these are a bucketlist animal for me

[@mikeayers8951]

Now I want some gidgies!!! Croc skinks, tokay geckos and armadillo lizards also live as family groups.

[@bugloverspiderlover8490]

I have a pair of female blue tailed or five lined skinks and they get along great,they are often basking and snuggled together. I’ve noticed in the wild,they live in small groups,usually one alpha male and several females and young.

[@davidglassford1217]

Love your videos. Very cool skink. I bought a pink tongue from you all about 1.5 years ago, and he is doing great, so grateful for the wonderful breeding work you all do with animals that are hard to find. Any chance you all will have any more chameleon geckos this year? I love those little geckos. Anyway keep up the good work and know that you all are much appreciated

[@TikisGeckos]

That is awesome! Thanks for the update. Unfortunately no chameleon geckos right now

[@rickf]

They're like a Uromastyx -Skink hybrid!

[@TikisGeckos]

Haha yes

[@linklein7270]

I want some! I had no idea there were lizards that lived in family units.

[@UnholyTrinityReptiles]

I love skinks so much , we've got a blue tongue and a fire skink. Definitely adding these cuties to my wish list.

[@morganicsmoothie964]

All of the enclosures in this video look so pretty

[@doxtorbork5567]

They look like pinecones! 😮

[@ArsonBjork]

I would love to give my gidgee a family!
I've had her for 4 years (not 100% of the gender but only a woman can give those judgemental looks)
Sadly they're rare af and even if I found another one avalable they need to be matching sexes and not hate eachother

[@keldaMouse]

these guys are so cute!

[@BlackLagoonReptiles]

What type of enclosures are those that you have them in? They look really nice.

[@VoidsExotics]

Do you guys have any tips for someone looking at breeding gidgee skinks myself?

[@slitheryserpents]

💚💜💚💜💚💜💚

[@zsworld6609]

When we purchase from you, are we able to get a pair or they unsexed?

[@TikisGeckos]

The smaller ones are unsexed but we can sex the bigger juveniles. Give us a call and we can see what we can do depending on which ones you want 7543174638

[@xoticmarvelreptiles4459]

They kind of look like plated lizards
