Hey guys, this is where I'll need your help. Since I am moving real soon, it sounds like one of the casualties is going to be my blue tongue skink. I've had "her" for a few years now. I was never good at sexing BTS's, but for some reason I think it's a female. "She" is full grown, about the length from my elbow to my fingertips (I can measure her, but this is how I always described her:)) What I need to figure out is a selling price for her. I have been out of the wholesale and retail reptile game for a little over a year now, and I don't know what the demand is like. Have you guys seen anything around, so I can try to get an idea? Thanks in advance.
 
Here you would be able to sell "her" for at least 150 euro:D
 
Pics would help but, unless she's exceptionally pretty or unique, I'd say about $70 o.b.o....if you're lucky, you may find someone who will give you a $100 for her.

Just out of curiousity, why do u think its a female? The only surefire way to tell is that mature males eject sperm plugs around their cage.

Yeah, thats why I don't know for sure. I've lots of the "old wives tales" on how to tell, such as thickness around the tail/vent, and a couple other methods, but I know none of them are reliable. I've spent a lot of time around herps (or maybe it was a lot of herps in a short time...:nilly:) but I know from experience some times you can get a hunch, but I would never sell it as a sexed female.
 
I keep seeing adults around 100 bucks but if they are extra colorfull and such they can be more.Normally adults around 100 though at shops.Babies are more.Post some pics of different angles and what town are you in anyways.I think Ive seen yours before on here but the more pics the better.Ive been waiting for babies but you never know.
 
I'm in MI. I'm not looking to try and make a bunch of money on it, I just want to make sure that it goes to someone who really wants it. I could trade it in at the lfs I used to work at, but I don't want it sitting in a small tank for too long, and the rep trade is a little slow around here right now.
