I have both and they are both very different animals, unique in their own way.

Basically skinks like to dig and burrow. If you put them on your shoulder they will gennerally stay but they are happier somewhere covered. If you have shoulder length hair they will hide in your hair. They are more active than BDs but move slower. Their feeding and husbandry are different as well. They can get by with less care than BDs and dont need UV light. I love my BTS and my BDs but when it comes to just hang'n out my choice is a BD.

When I was young we used to go “skinny dipping,” now I just “chunky dunk.”
