    Why is it so hard to own a blue tongue skink in WA?

    I don't even think it's possible. We are only allowed to keep centralian and Western BTSs in WA. I don't know one person who owns one, and I couldn't find any breeders. I really want a BTS, but I don't know where to get one from or if I can even ever get one... But why don't much people own...
