I've been wanting a blue tongue skink for over a year now, but I'm looking for one with the potential to grow 20 inches (northerns, meruakes etc) so t.gigas don't really come into it for me. It's proving very difficult to find one in the Uk, as all the pet shop ones I've seen are definatly gigas (Also, I don't really want to buy from a pet shop unless its high reputable)
So does anyone know of any breeders accessable in the UK were i can purchase one from?
Thanks

Snakes 'n' Adders in Leeds is offering CB Intermedia.
As a footnote, I haven't seen them, and they may well be intermedia. However, most of the skinks that I have seen in shops are Irian Jayas, variously labelled (often as gigas).
I've actually never seen real gigas for sale in the UK, although I've seemn plenty labelled as gigas.
Cheers,
Mark.
ps. I'm hoping for CB Irian Jayas later this year. Have you seen any Tanimbar Island scincoides for sale?
