zachyd Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 What is this? We think it is a gecko, is that right? Dad found this in the garden today, i have set up a small unused fish tank for it. Are we allowed to keep it? Mum says i can have it for a few days then it must go back outside. What do i feed it while it is in here & will it be alright in a tank? We have put dirt, rocks & sticks & have made the dirt moist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaNs Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Copper skink Illegal to remove from the wild and illegal to keep without a permit. Bad to keep them in tanks also... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
