: Greetings and salutations, everyone! Please help! I've been fruitlessly searching for a breeder/dealer who has T. rugosa but I haven't found a single one. Does anyone know if/where one can find the elusive shingleback skinks?
: Thanks a million.

Sorry can't help you but wthere I live in Western Australia (Home of the Bobbie[Shingleback]). The government in West Aust bans the keeping of all reptiles, the irony being that during spring and summer, I see bucket-loads of these poor creatures squashed on the roads. Many killed intentionally by mindless motorists.
Many people keep them illegally here and I often respond to phone calls from people requiring help with feeding/housing their pet bobtails.
