I just acquired a 1.1 pair of what I believe to be Teratoscincus roborowski, but I am not sure. I'm sorry, but I have no pictures. I'm aware that identification mayb be tough without any, but if someone could help me, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Can someone tell me what might separate these guys from other Teratoscinuses? Also, information on their general care would be greatly appreciated, as the pet store staff was not very helpful.

Thanks!

You can tell wich one it is by the scales on the back of the head. Here are a couple pictures that might help you out.

Here is a care sheet That should help you out.

Definitely a T. roborowskii, and thank you for the care sheet. I'll look it over. I'll try to post pics whenever I get my camera back from a certain friend of mine (Sarra!).

Edited to say: After reading the care sheet, I have a few questions...

How long after mating does the female lay? (I've witnessed them mating.) What kind of lay box does she need? What temp and how long do the eggs incubate for?

Thanks.

I finally got a some pics, here's one of my male, Charlie. Don't worry, he's just playing dead... He does that a lot. Is this common?



Sorry I don't have a better pic, but he appears to be a T. roborowskii to me. What do you guys think?

And here's the female, Jess.



If anyone could tell me what their breeding habbits/requirements and egg incubation requirements are are, I'd appreciate it.

They do appear to be roborowskii...but can you get some pic of the scales on the back of thier head kind of like I took. That is the easiest way to tell them apart.

They usuaually only lay 2-4 clutches a year. Incubation is 80-85F.

I will try to get some pics of the back of their heads by the weekend. Thanks!

This is a great post I've ever found.
I hereby enclosed each of 2 pics of my pair, can you help me to identify rather they are Teratoscincus przewalskii or Teratoscincus roborowskii?
They seems to me that they are Teratoscincus roborowskii as the scale are large refer to your reference pics, aren't they?
Thank you very much and waiting for your reply soon.
