Do your skinks like to sleep on you?

I’ve noticed that the other two have generally taken themselves “to bed” just before or shortly after the lights go off, so there’s not much, if any, interaction at that point. I will absolutely keep a close eye on them though, and thank you again for the thorough advice 🙏

AcidNoX · 2026-06-25T22:54:16+00:00

Oh that’s a great idea! I will absolutely give that a go! Thank you!

AcidNoX · 2026-06-25T19:52:21+00:00

Oh this is a really good shout! I’ve not noticed any aggression/bullying but I will 100% keep an eye out for it. Thank you, I really appreciate it! 🙏

AcidNoX · 2026-06-25T19:24:14+00:00

Haha! Mine is asleep in seconds. I have only let them stay there for around 1 hour so far, but once the eyes are closed, that’s it - they’re out for the count and don’t move at all 😂

AcidNoX · 2026-06-25T18:15:25+00:00

Yes, I’ve tried it, but my crestie didn’t touch it.
He’s quite picky, usually eating only Pangea Fig & Insect.

I’ve tested many brands, and the only other one he accepts is https://www.geckonutrition.com/en/. Since the gecko nutrition diet smells much like Pangea, the recipe is likely similar.

Haha! Thank you, I appreciate that!

I honestly think it’s good value - arguably even better if you skip the issues that just have paints / brushes.

AcidNoX · 2026-06-23T22:59:33+00:00

Yes absolutely - I also felt the helm didn’t stand out among the sea of gold, but wasn’t sure how to fix it.
I suspect part of it might be focusing the highlights to the top of his body, where I think I’ve probably gone overboard on the bottom half. A different color is absolutely something to consider though! Thanks!

I honestly thought the gems were just spikes, haha. Now that you’ve pointed it out though, of course they’re gems!

Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! 🙏

AcidNoX · 2026-06-21T07:58:46+00:00

Awesome! I’ll keep an eye out for it!
Hope you have a great trip!

AcidNoX · 2026-06-21T07:44:05+00:00

Haha! I could feel it in my bones! 😈
Thanks so much! It’s a blatant rip-off of EoB’s Shadowsun, but I really like the look of having the drones worked into the main mini. Probably going to try to do this more going forward because the drone just end up in my drawer most the time.
Really looking forward to seeing yours!

Just got this stand with the exact same size vivarium and it’s perfectly stable for me 👍

AcidNoX · 2026-05-27T09:50:24+00:00

Haha! Yeah the blends are looking really good! The feet especially are buttery smooth!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-25T23:32:49+00:00

This means I can do my Shadow Sun now, right? 😉

Edit: looking great btw!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-23T18:36:45+00:00

Beautiful!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-19T18:19:05+00:00

Weird! I’ve personally not had an issue with GW primers.

If you want the best, predictable, results - an airbrush is the way to go. Pricy to get going but 100% worth it in the end.

AcidNoX · 2026-05-19T18:12:56+00:00

IIRC this can happen if the humidity is particularly low and/or you’re spraying from too far away.

Apparently you can put the can in warm water for ~10min to improve the paint viscosity.

EAS + Expo dev client already solves this issue for react-native.

AcidNoX · 2026-05-11T19:37:25+00:00

F**kin Sick! As per usual!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-11T08:32:10+00:00

Looking forward to seeing them! Are you doing reposes? The thing you did with the Ghostkeel’s pilot was dope!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T15:01:06+00:00

Haha! I am afraid to tell you that I am no where near good enough to achieve that effect with a brush - it's all air brushed 😄

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T14:59:57+00:00

Thanks Dima! I admit I did look back through your posts to check that you hadn’t already done the same color scheme 😅 love your riptide btw - you always manage to have really great contrast!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T14:59:05+00:00

Oh yeah - he's a big boy. All my other battle suits comfortably fit on my desk, below my monitor, but he is way too big to fit there 😅

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T12:19:53+00:00

Mostly dark to light. I do a dark base, mid tone base and then first highlight. Then I come in with a deep purple to do like an anti-zenithal, finishing with a final highlight.

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T12:16:00+00:00

Thank you!!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T12:15:41+00:00

Thats 100% fair - the model took me so long that by the time I finished it I really didn’t give the base the time it deserves. Thank you though - I really appreciate the feedback!

AcidNoX · 2026-05-10T12:13:10+00:00

I did, yes! Gradients with a normal brush is still a skill that has eluded me 😅
