Can't we all just get along?
Lizards aren't cuddly, are they? You tell me. This is Ken, Baby Doll's new mate... hopefully. This is Cutie Pie, Junior's new mate... most likely! Here's a close-up of Cutie Pie This is Cutie Pie's and Jr's first date! I think it's love... so far, so good! Ok, here's the story. As most of you know, I raise reptiles . I have 2 snakes, I breed Leopard Geckos, and I have a toad and two Prehensile-tailed skinks . Well, now I have FOUR Prehensile-tailed skinks! My first two skinks were Baby Doll (female) and Junior (male). I had thought that they could live together, but it turns out that even though they are both the same species (prehensile-tailed skinks, aka Corucia zebrata ), they are different sub-species. Baby Doll is Corucia zebrata alfredschmidti (my spell check is going nuts right now!), and Jr is Corucia zebrata zebrata . (Here's a link if you want to read the technical stuff.)

Since I'm unfamiliar with Canadian law, this site here lists a few Canadian Service Dog orgs that may be able to answer your questions (do a search on Canada): http://www.inch.com/~dogs/service.html
I hope this helps.
