Hi,

Well, for me keyserlingii look much more light in the skin, mine are more darker.. And keyserlingii looks a bit "fater" built, if you understand me, more cordial.. But maybe
Thank you for answear, !

yep, now 100% sure keyserlingii.
nice looking animal
i just posted a topic with all the different species,and you can see the difference with scincuscincus.
good luck with him.

Haha, okey, thanks mate!=)
Yeah, he looks very nice, maybe blind on the one eye, he fails to get food sometimes(but yes, i make him eat)
I saw your topic! But i was not sure because some of your K's looked much lighter i the colour than mine, but but..
Do you have any experience with egg laying on these one? I have heard that it was very difficult to make the eggs to hatch.

in total, i had 21 babies from the teratoscincus this season, babies from keyserlingii, roborowski and scincusscincus, and now also have eggs from prezwaslki and microlepis.
there is a big variety in the colours of keyserlingi. i also have a topic of a high white keyserlingi, that i bred last season. i will try to find the link.
no, i am sure, its keyserlingii

Wow. I undertand, thanks for telling me!
But it is difficult to get eggs on these ones, and it is difficult to hatch them?
