Peter's Banded Skink, The Best Pet Lizard?
Рет қаралды 159,103
5 жыл бұрынThe Peter's banded skink (Scincopus fasciatus) is a bit of a newcomer to the reptile hobby. These skinks are beautiful, robust, and have a great personality. But, are they the right pet lizard for you?

Skinks are naturally more inquisitive and intelligent than other reptiles. When I was 17 I was a bulldozer driver. I was working in a weird area of my country this area was similar to a combination of summer season Australia or a desert. Area is called tanjaroo. Which was unusual for me it was my first time knowing there’s an area like that in my country, since my country consists of snowy mountains and forests. So anyhow I was getting ready to switch some of equipment and grease and gas it up. And all of a sudden I saw a big beautiful rainbow colored lizard that looked like a big mono line skink “another common native skink here” except it was huge and had the most beautiful color more than any other of the probably 800 different reptile species living here. It came to me which scared me for a moment I thought it was venomous or something so I was cautious but it just sat in front of me and kept staring up and down. Eventually I touched it and it didn’t react so I picked it up and placed it in a safer location, then it followed me again all the way back, so I figured it must be asking for food, I didn’t have anything to feed to a lizard other than water so I spilled some onto a thin plastic lid and it immediately stuffed its head onto it and started drinking. It turned out to be very thirsty and went off on its way after drinking enough. The species is deemed unidentified, along with the native bearded dragons and monitors we have here. The issue is in my country we have ornithologists not many herpetologists. And many local idiots who think eating certain rare wild animals will increase their dick size. Currently I’m the only person in my country working on this issue.

We now are feeding him a pinky every other day and he is starting to look healthier and more active.

Hi Clint, I actually keep a pair of PBS and am hoping to produce some captive bred individuals soon. One thing I wanted to say is that because so little is known about these animals wild behaviors (and even their behaviors in captivity because the buggers spend 90% of their time buried) the optimal husbandry is still mostly up for scientific debate. Personally because of new collection data suggesting that they prefer areas near irrigated land and low lying grasslands instead of sandy shrub lands as previously thought, I keep my skinks on a layer of coconut fiber topped with 6-8 inches of filtered shredded aspen and I am seeing great success. My female lost a piece of her tail as she came to me because it was mummified from bad sheds (likely caused by being housed on sand-like substrates for most of her life). Personally I believe sand is evil for the vast majority of reptiles and it would take significant data to convince me that it is optimal for PBS, just something to consider for husbandry recommendations (especially for hobbyists considering these guys as they are amazing).

Males tend to have much bulkier heads and a thicker tail base (to house hemipenes). My pair is actually much different size-wise so its easy to tell them apart at a glance. I don't know if this i s true for all PBS but my male is also a lot bolder, I see him exploring a lot and he eats like a champ while my female is more timid. I've also heard of food preferences between males/females but I haven't discovered anything that one will eat and the other won't.

Hi Clint! First time comment here. I really respect your comment on 8:20. It shows how much you love and pay respect to the animals, environment and the herpculture :)

Thank you so much, and so good to hear from you! This is actually the reason that I have delayed covering animals that are wild caught for so long. I don't want to motivate people to put demand on wild populations. I hope I explained it well enough that those that watch this video will understand. I really appreciate your feedback on this.

I love Scincidae, the 5 lined skink is one of the only two lizards found in Michigan (and is much more common than the 6 lined racerunner)

Those are both rad lizards. Skinks just make me happy!

Racerunners are awesome. Hard to find. Even harder to catch.

Thanks for the thoughtful commentary on importation. I've seen a few of these guys die suddenly from fungal infections in reptile groups I frequent, so something for interested keepers to consider. It's a dream reptile for me, but I am also holding out for one that is in need of rehoming or a CBB baby... they are so dang adorable and I hope more folks are able to breed them in captivity, cuz afaik not much is known about them in the wild or their population

I have been interested in getting one of these for awhile, but now knowing that they're wild caught is making want to wait. Thanks for the knowledge and I will definitely be watching to see when captive bred is available.

I recently got my own, and I typically would never buy a wild caught animal but being as it arrived at the store I work at; I couldn’t watch it go home to someone with no husbandry experience or reptile experience in general. I appreciate this video, a lot. Thank you, Clint.

You might want to make one other correction to this video, Peter’s Banded Skinks are egg layers not live bearers. Love your channel as always Mr. Rogers of reptiles!
@yellowdandelion4820 4 жыл бұрын
These guys are absolutely everything that I would ever want want in a skink especially with being good for handeling. But I couldn’t feel at rest knowing that I took one from the wild. I’m going to wait until I can get one that is bred in captivity.

Thanks for the info! Just had to remove one of these guys from a BAD home and he/she is not in great shape right now... I just knew it was a skink, now I know it is a Peter's Banded. You are the best, Clint!

I love your channel so much! You are the reason that I decided a Kenyan sand boa was the snake for me and after almost three years I am going to Tinley this weekend and finally going to get my very own! My boyfriend and I are so excited! I was wondering if you would consider doing a video on day geckos? Anyway thank you so much for the rad work you do!

So glad we've been able to help you on your journey! Expect a day gecko video for sure.
