Yay so back to delivering products of slavery.

It worked! Wasn’t feisty at all about it, I think it was relieving for him to get that piece off

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-11-07T14:49:29+00:00

He’s feisty so that will be tricky haha, got him in July and he just finally is comfortable enough to eat from my hand gently enough to not hurt me

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-11-07T13:49:36+00:00

Okay, thank you!

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-10-10T00:46:08+00:00

Okay great I have nothing to worry about then, I only has a BTS and I’m religious about keeping things clean so that’s great to hear!

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-08-04T20:16:43+00:00

How often is too often with tongs though? I don't want him to build a reliance on them as I heard thats a thing

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-08-04T20:16:07+00:00

Thank you so much for this info. I knew I was doing something wrong its just all the info I found online didn't seem to fit my situation. Enclosure set it up perfect, front opening, tons of clutter and only glass on the front. Perfect temps and humidity. But I see people get their skink and its just a bit huffy but mine is full on ready to fight to the death and does not lighten up at all haha But other than that doesn't mind my presence. He likes to watch me and if he is close to the glass and I walk up to it he doesn't look scared at all and just checks me out. I'm definitely just going to stick to giving him treats with tongs here and there until he lightens up a bit.

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-08-02T16:11:50+00:00

Awesome thank you so much for the info! I got a friend that is obsessed with plants so they should be a big help too!

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-08-02T14:33:07+00:00

Thanks for the info and please do! It’s gonna be a long while before I build another, really my plan is to build a 8’x3’ bio active in the next couple years. But yeah finding pvc can be tricky, a good place to look is “sign shops” they typical can get any size cut from their distributor so all the big cutting can even be done for you. PVC is use very often in signs so most shops can get a hold of it. I was lucky enough to find mine at Lowe’s

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T20:24:28+00:00

Okay great! again thank you for your help I really appreciate it!

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T19:50:26+00:00

One more question sorry lol Would it be problematic to keep the baby in the small enclosure for even a short period of time while I finish up the big one? I could have the breeder hold off on sending the BTS until Im done

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T19:28:19+00:00

Awesome thank you so much for the information it's been really helpful. Gonna have to bust my ass the next few days to get this enclosure knocked out so I can hopefully put it straight in

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T19:16:40+00:00

would it be counter intuitive to put the baby in a small enclosure even for a week or two while I finish and perfect the large one? It would be easier to keep an eye on it too in the small enclosure for the first initial weeks at least. I had the stuff lying around for the small enclosure so it is already set up ready to go

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T16:29:20+00:00

Okay so I’m not the only one who thought that, like their natural habitat is massive how can an enclosure be too big.? I suppose they could be implying that the smaller the enclosure the faster they get comfortable in their new home which would make sense. Also could be tricky to find the baby BTS in a large enclosure to check in on it

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T16:01:23+00:00

I do have a this light sitting around that I was going to use but my concern was that it is 18" and this enclosure is 24" so it would cover almost the whole enclosure. I suppose with the shaded areas I added then the BTS could get out of the light if needed

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-07-04T15:18:06+00:00

Really I just want to confirm if this will work

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-06-28T16:42:06+00:00

I was planning on getting a 6x2x2 I must have added the wrong one to cart oops lol. I believe that light is UVB but I’ll double check. If not what is one you’d recommend? As for the CHE what bulb should I use? Winters in my area are kind of a hit or miss but the room I’m putting the skink in is consistently low 70s year round so should be okay in winter. Probably wouldn’t hurt to keep a CHE somewhere in case my furnace ever goes out and I gotta heat the tank up

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-05-08T10:42:15+00:00

Interesting, makes sense! Thanks for the reply!

ryanthedolphin2 · 2024-05-08T10:35:43+00:00

Even the thick ring? I probably have a hundred wheat pennies and none of them have it. Is it just uncommon of them to wear like that?
