INTRODUCTION:
The purpose of this site is for education. I hope to provide people with knowledge about Schneider's skinks primarily, but other reptiles as well. This site is intended to guide people in the proper care and breeding of this species themselves. The second point is to provide information to be used for comparative analysis, as well as a means to increase one’s common knowledge of this animal.
This information and data had been originally collected for my own self interest and possible future use. I later decided that this is apparently valuable knowledge due to the lack of information on this specific species of skink. I felt it should be shared with others in hopes that people will follow suit and help prevent the removal of this species from the wild by captive breeding this species instead. Although it would make a small difference in the conservation of our planet's wildlife, captive breeding programs in regards to the pet trade does make a difference.
CONSERVATION HERO QUOTES:
PURCHASING C.B. SCHNEIDER'S (BERBER) SKINKS
I personally do not sell any animals. However, if you are interested in purchasing a captive bred Schneider's (Berber) skink, then please visit the Links page. In addition to the places on the Links page, for residents of the United States, Petco and Petsmart both sell captive bred Schneider's skinks. In order to buy one from one of these companies, you would most likely have to visit your local store and ask them to special order you a Schneider's skink. I say this because I know these stores sell skinks due to the fact they provide care sheets for them, but I have yet to see any in the actual stores.
DONATIONS / VOLUNTEERING:
Donations and volunteering for animal rescue organizations are both great ways to help save the lives of animals both wild and domestic. In addition to aiding animals, donations are often tax deductable (United States). IMPORTANT - If you do donate money, ask the organization to send you a receipt for the amount donated; you will need this for the tax deduction. If you are interested in donating or volunteering, and I strongly encourage you to do so, please visit the Links page.
