That is by far the hairiest alterna I've ever seen!

Why do you want skinks in particular--I'm assuming you want them as feeders?

Thanks, thats my dog. Yes I did want the skinks as food as my sister's baby kingsnakes aren't eating. If you know where I could get them from, could you please tell me??

Don't know about skinks, but you could try using other lizards which you can more readily purchase/catch. Another option is to scent pinkies with a frozen lizard (so you don't have to keep buying live feeder lizards).

Anoles and house geckos also work. www.gherp.com usually has feeders for sale tho the shipping to England might be pricery. I imagine you could find the above in a petstore not far from you.
You might find places that sell feeders in the classifieds look in lizard or amphibian classified for large places that carry assorted herps.
