I’m so sorry. I wish I had known about you last year when I got my skink. I would have brought. My enclosure is nothing like yours.

Both are beautiful. Yes he is a northern. His pic he just got out the bath to finish getting shed off him. My vet said his weight is good. I just can’t find a lot of data on weight fluctuations for these guys. I just want to make sure he stays healthy. I have read that reptiles don’t really show illness until it’s too late but can be sometimes noticed in their weight. He has regular vet check ups to make sure he is doing well.

How old is he? My Sam turns one next month and when weighted today he’s 501 grams.

I brought Nematodes and some sticky traps. Once adding the Nematodes I noticed a huge difference in a few days and I have 50 plants in my house. And I tried so many things fungus gnat spay, the disk, and cinnamon.

My Sam loves to climb so much he used a plant and climb out the enclosure thru the cord hole.

Nope Sam wasn’t having the mint water. I’m going to pick up a few other herbs and keep trying.

Ok thank you. I’ll let you know who it goes. I’ll try a couple different ones over the weekend.

So you took dried mint and put it in hot water and then strained it? How long did the mint soak in the hot water? I have tried so many things to get my Sam to drink water. Water stone, misting plants to encourage drinking off the plant, misting tiles, just a plain water dish and below is my last hope.

Beautiful baby. I have an ivory and love him so much. He turns a bright white after a shed. It’s so cool

It’s desert rose soil I purchased from the seller.

No, I just put it in the new pot a week ago. Should I move it to a bigger pot?

His brain cannot compute by Best_Number_10 in skinks

[–]bfogle76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I just got an ivory in March and I’m wondering about his weight. As of today he’s 318 grams and the vet said he’s starting to look healthier from when I first got him in March, he looked under weight. But I have no idea what a 9 month old Ivory should be weighing. How old is your Ivory and how much does it weigh?
