red sided skinks

Hi Ryan,
They are appearing on our wholesale lists, so I expect these are Mabuya perrotetii - aka red-sided skinks. As far as prices - the mabuya skinks sell for as little as $2.50 to the pet stores in lots.
No, they are not the same as fire skinks (Riopia fernandi).
Check out the care sheets here:

There isn't too much out there - they are really easy to keep.
Our red-sided was a rescue (the folks bought him and resturned him to the store. Too flighty, I guess. He eats his bugs from my hand now....
