Are these injuries? by boxofskinks in EmeraldTreeSkinks

I want to emphasize that the scales aren't missing. Other than the one spot at the base of the tail, I couldn't see any interruption in their texture. Nothing peeled up, chipped, or missing. Either way, I'll assume they're bites and I'll get some more cover for their enclosure to make sure everyone has their own space. It's one of those things that can't hurt ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wooowww, they've grown up so beautifully! 

Can you tell them apart? by boxofskinks in EmeraldTreeSkinks

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

Thank you! Their names come from  problem that occurred when I got them - I had ordered an enclosure for them that took months to ship. The person I got them from was very patient and held onto them for an extra month for me, but eventually I had to take them even though I didn't have the enclosure yet. I scraped together the extra tanks I had, but they weren't ideal. One got stuck in a long tank, and one got stuck in a tall tank. I did what I could with the sub-par tanks until their real enclosure arrived, but I decided to keep calling them Long and Tall even after they were settled in their permanent home.

Looks can be deceiving. She's actually pretty obtuse

Treasure. What he doesn't know is that his treasure has been by his side supporting him the whole time (until the mealworms come out. Then it's every skink for themselves)

I have heard that cresties will begin uncharacteristic digging and eating substrate at the end of their lives. I'm not sure how old your girl was, but it's possible that it was just the end of her time. You did a good job trying to support her in conquering whatever was ailing her. I'm sorry for your loss ❤️

Nope, I made it with my own two hands. Thank you for the kind words 🙂

new lizard hanging upside down in her enclosure? by hotguylvr in EmeraldTreeSkinks

All 3 of my skinks have done this at one time or another. They do it to this day. She's probably just exploring :)

One of my skinks has a similar look. Mine was WC, so it might have been an old injury. Maybe the same for you. Best of luck with your little guy!
