About ME: Mel's Exotics is owned and operated by me, Melanie J. Pratt, and is dedicated to keeping and breeding some of my favourite animals from around the world.

Available at ME:

Classic Northern BTS - CBB 2011
Evita X Wasp	Born July 30, 2011
	Baby B - Available - $200 Baby B is a very independant and explorative skink. With bold orange sides he's quite a looker, and he'll make a fantastic and active pet.
	Baby L - Available - $200 Baby L is an active and curious baby. He received his name because of his light colors. He's a bit defensive in his tank but a total doll once out.
	Baby O - Available - $200 Baby O is gorgeous and full of personality. He can be a bit skittish, but mostly he's a very curious skink. He has a unique little O in the center of one of his bands.
	Baby X - Available - $200 Baby X is a stunning skink with orange on black sides and brains to match. He's an extremely confident guy and loves exploring.
	Baby Y - Available - $200 Baby Y is a calm and curious young skink who seems to like wandering. He has very clear banding on his back with great colors.

Fluke X Wasp	Born Aug 29, 2011
	Baby HI - Available - $200 Baby HI is a shy, quiet baby. He's a little butterball right now. he's a bit timid but a very sweet little skink.
	Baby NY - Available - $200 Baby NY is a bundle of energy with a gorgeous light color. He can be a bit defensive at first, but once out of his tank he's a very active and curious fellow.
	Baby MX - Available - $200 Baby MX is a very smart little skink who's going to make an awesome pet. MX is calm and relaxed, great for a new skink owner.
	Baby QD - Available - $200 Baby QD is the darkest of all Fluke's babies. He's a bit defensive and skittish in his tank, and once out he doesn't stop going.
	Baby SS - Available - $200 Baby SS is a shy skink with a beautiful light yellow pattern. He's not much of an explorer; he prefers to curl up with a warm person.
	Baby TP - Reserved as Holdback Baby TP was born at half the size of his siblings and has a very different appearance. My mother has fallen in love with the little guy, so he'll be staying with me.
	Baby TW - Available - $200 Baby TW is the calmest of all the babies. He's very laid-back and is going to make a fantastic pet skink. TW has a unique band on his neck with a neat T mark.
	Baby VM - Available - $200 Baby VM is a brilliant orange baby. He's a bit skittish and likes to hide, but he's a sweetheart and a great cuddler.

Payment & Discounts: I accept payment in cash or by e-mail money transfer. All babies start at $200. There are 2 discounts available; with both discounts babies are $150.
- $25 off for being a MHS Paid Member (costs $15 for an individual if you don't have it already)
- $25 off for being a contributing bluetongueskinks.net member (you need to be posting on the forum, as a tip, consider asking about your tank and how to get ready for a baby)
Putting a baby on hold for a month takes a deposit of $50 (negotiable).

ME Policies: These are my babies, I want to give them the best possible lives, and so there are some rules to consider:
- I will only send babies to good homes who are ready for them.
- - - You need to have a tank ready and be able to answer basic care questions.
- There is no way to know the gender with baby BTS.
- These babies will not be sold in pairs/groups.
- - - You cannot house BTS together and these share a father, so shouldn't be bred together.
- - - Next year I hope to have unrelated babies available if you'd like more.
- If at any time you decide you can't keep or don't want your baby you agree to give me first right of refusal at the price you paid.
- Finally, I would really like to be kept up to date and with pictures if possible. If you're a MHS or BTS.net member, please post about them. These babies are all very special to me and I don't want to lose track of them.

ME in 2012: In 2012 I am hoping to have litters of:
- Classic Northerns
- Caramel Northerns
- Irian Jayas
- Silver Tanimbars
- Yellow Tanimbars
- Meraukes.
