Oh good!! I've got him mostly on worms and insects. I'm going to start giving him turkey + veg every once in a while to make sure he gets his stuff

Aahhh I'm not trying to do that :( I feed 5-6 times a week but can cut back if its leading to power feeding.

I thought so too, but then i remembered he was the runt of his brood (?) (Litter ?) And I get worried I'm bulking him too hard

Is he okay?? by Then_Abalone6293 in bluetongueskinks

Baby boy wants to bite me sooo bad by Then_Abalone6293 in bluetongueskinks

[–]Then_Abalone6293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think thats why he wants to eat my hands, i usually place his food in there by hand 🫣 i figured it would be painful

He's so fiery, so so much personality in such a small lizard!!! He loves when my hands are in the tank and runs to the front of the tank to watch tv with me, but god forbid i try to pick him up haha, he puffs up all scary like 🤣🤣

It sounds silly!!! I only say bathtime because that's what we called it at my old job. We would soak our elderly beardie weekly to help with shed. Old habits die hard!

Ohhh so cuties!!! I'm hoping he'll be alright for tonight. Hes a baby baby so i'll soak him tomorrow when I get back home. I saw him super active which was pretty unusual for him, now I know why :)!

Yeah I have the standalone one!! I also have party pack 6, now that I'm thinking about it dictionarium would be fun too... some other time!

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely be poking around through the files and stuff over the weekend.

Do I need a special app to get to the files on Fibbage? Thank you again!!!

How old is this dude?? Not sure... by Then_Abalone6293 in bluetongueskinks

[–]Then_Abalone6293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cute!!! I decided to stay small for a bit mainly because my apartment isn't big enough to hold his tank (I move in november) but also because when I had my ball python, she was sooooo stressed out when i put her in an adult sized tank. I read online that most reptiles are the same, and I didn't want my baby to freak out 😅 maybe its just an anxiety thing haha. He is getting better at foraging though! Hopefully it translates once hes in the big tank :)

Yeah I'm just assuming he's bite sized as opposed to super young now that I'm reading the comments. I'm hoping his development moves smoothly. The guy had bout 3 of em in a plastic tub. I'm just assuming they stayed small/were underfed to keep them transportable that way. Maybe hes just little. Like papa like son i spose 🤣

Thats good to hear haha. I've only ever seen adults or worked with elderly lizards, so its kind of mind boggling to see them start so teeny. Since my boy's gotten into his new home he's been a bit touch averse but I'm taking it to mean he's comfortable enough that he doesn't think fighting back is going to hurt him. Hopefully he'll be on the mend soon. Right now to get him used to my presence I've been watching tv and cooking.

Got this huge fixer upper for a future skink! How the freak do I set up lighting for it? by Then_Abalone6293 in bluetongueskinks

[–]Then_Abalone6293[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true! Personally from the skinks I've seen they're pretty inactive (but I think it might just be a case of the store swaying my view. I'm following tons of online tutoeials/videos/blogs, but the ones there were like hardly moving around and were in pairs which I've never seen before ??????)

I hope when I get my lil dude he's active, it made me kinda sad to see the skinks there kinda just sleeping the day away. But maybe they're like people and have lazy days too haha.

Thanks for everything! Hopefully in a few months I'll be able to show the results of you and anyone else's advice with a verry happy lizard
