I have been considering selling my male Prehensile Tailed Skink.
I am wondering if there is a market for them, and if so, what is the market value?
This is a two year old, lots of blue. He just does'nt fit into my plans anymore.

Most of the time I see them listed as roughly 600 per animal, more if they are proven breeders.

But is there a market? Are buyers out there now that they're no longer imported?

With availability being so low due to imports no longer being readily available and low reproductive rates the supply is fairly low, and since they are such amazing animals demand will always be there. I know I am more then willing to buy them when I can find them. I would say market value is bound to continue to get higher over time. I can remember when I bought my first pair market value was 150. And now a few years has gone by and I see pairs being sold for 1400.
