Am with Kehhlyr on this, you can see in that last pic how perfectly they are created to shovel through the sand....instead of being aerodynamic they are sand-dynamic!

You can see how well built they are for literally swimming in the sand.
The sharply pointed and low snout is perfect for carving through sand. |

aww look how popular the skinkies are!
they usually come up above the sand in the morning when i turn the light on... and when theres waxworms
otherwise they'll just be cricket legs, poop, and shed skin that erupts every now and then! :)

Are they above the sand very often? I recently got a Fire Skink and he's burrowed down in the eco earth and I havent seen him in aggess! (But the food is dissapearing, lol) |

Evil Lewy wouldn't let me get it though  |

are they also known as berber skinks?
theres two in the shop i go to and im tempted by them every time!
the berber skinks get much bigger than the sandfish
i like the fishies better though - they have smiley faces :D
and dinner83: they are actually the easiest pets i've ever kept!
they dont *need* and decorations or anything in the tank to climb on, they only grow about 6 or 7 inches long and they'll happily live off crickets - they dont drink water either since they get it from the bugs
There are only a few care sheets out there on them, all with different info, so i put this together:

Hopefully it'll help people a little... |

The 3rd pic is my favourite, even though Merry (or Pippin)'s head is missing!!

haha yeah, i used it as the family christmas card... with my lame little joke 'Merry' Christmas :D
Pippin is really shy, except every morning he (or she?) gets up and scratches on the glass until i turn the light on! |
