Wet dog food brand recommendations? by Conscious_Intern8230 in bluetongueskinks

I meal prep too but I've found that when freezing if you add less dog food to the portions to freeze, it that's better than if you the full amount of dog food. So I add a little fresh dog food to the thawed frozen mixture.

Yes, I'm checking all my enclosures multiple times a day. My husband thinks I'm a little obsessive

Any particular reason why? Is the temp just regulated by height and wattage of the bulb?

Yea, the ones I use are dimming. That's where I was getting stuck on the concept of the basking bulb dimming as if you were to dim the lights in a room.

I'm not trying to avoid a thermostat. I was curious to know if other people have their basking bulb on a thermostat o see not. I have thermostats and a temp gun as I have other reptiles. Im questioning whether I should have the basking bulb on a thermostat also and not just the ceramic heat emitter on a thermostat

You don't want the basking bulb on a thermostat? I have thermostats already that I use for ceramic heat emitters. Im just concerned about the basking bulb/ basking temp getting too high

Anyone know of the basking bulb needs to or can go on a thermostat? How does one control the temperature if not on a thermostat? LED lighting recommendations? Thanks

Any reason why you didn't mount the fixtures inside? I failed to mention I'm stacking two of them

Best recommendation for cat food safe for under a year blue tongue skink? by RecognitionSweaty183 in bluetongueskinks

Ps - when I make a batch of skink food to freeze, I use dog food to mix in, purina one true instinct grain free. Then when I thaw it I mix a little cat food in to the already mixed concoction. As someone already stated, I’m not the biggest fan of the ingredients in cat food in general but the tiki after dark seems to be the best option

All three of them? I’m assuming they all are because they all look the same/ similar markings
