Do all those shinglebacks get on well together

Actually, they do! I used to keep all my Shinglebacks together in a large area but recently decided to enclose them individually or in "possible pairs". These three seem to like to stay together and is the only trio I came up with. My guess is the far red is a female, the middle is a male, but I haven't made up my mind about the one in front--gay, perhaps?

My shingleback and blue-tongue get on well although when it comes time for my blue-tongue to shed I have to seperate them because he gets quite a temper.
And how much would it cost to get a trio of shinglebacks like that. I've heard they can be up to as much as $2000 american dollars

What you've heard is correct. I didn't buy these three at the same time and I paid $2500 for one, $2000 for another, and $1500 for the third one (and I only got that last "bargain" because I have purchased a number of Shinglebacks from that particular seller). In my opinion, they are worth every penny.

They are Beautiful Lizards, I have a problem with my shinglebacks head, he keeps gettign cuts and crazes on the top, could that be from the other lizard he lives with of a low shelter

I would definitely separate your lizards. That's a classic sign of problems among skinks. Even if you haven't observed any aggression, I'd be willing to bet a Shingleback that your other blue tongue is biting your Shingleback. Please do separate them. You've only referred to it as a "blue tongue"...do you know what type your other skink is?

Thanks alot for the advice. I had already had them seperated for a while but now I have them permanently seperated. I have an eastern blue tongue, he is a little sneaky he never bites my shingleback when I am in the room or only when the lights are out. But I caught him in the act and seperated them immediately.
