luke, i am sorry about your loss. it is comforting to be able to hear from someone who went through the same horrible experience and came through with a positive outlook. right now i am in the process of seeing if xtreme reptiles will refund my money. on thier website there is a 5 day health guarantee...lets see if they honor it. i am sure they will try to give me another wild caught ill skink, but i am going to refuse this. i will keep you guys posted as to whether or not xtreme reptiles gives me my money back...i even have elvis's body on ice to give to them if they want to examine him, which is unlikely.
After reading James Wilson's post i contacted him and all i have to say is that he is such a great guy, he wants to give me one of his held back skinks, and i am truly speechless. thanks again james, your extensive knowledge of blue tongues and your generosity have made this ordeal much easier. -alex
