Oh, good to know. Thanks Kat!

[millertime89]

has he stuck his tongue out at you?

[Little Wise Owl]

Not beyond the usual tongue flicking. S/he's pretty chill.

Congrats... it's a very pretty/handsome skink

[Little Wise Owl]

Thanks I think so too

[GarterPython]

I agree with Red Ink. He is a beauty

[Little Wise Owl]

Thanks

I'm itching so bad to take him/her out for more photos but I know I need to wait.

Po decided today was the day to stomp around and make a mess. S/he's so cute :3

[alessia55]

he's so cute! What/how often does he eat?

[Little Wise Owl]

They're omnivorous and are fed a diet similar to Bearded Dragons (leafy greens, vegetables, fruit and insects/small feeder). I hear many breeders feed them various types of canned dog/cat food and meat for protein rather than insects.

Today I offered her endive and escarole greens topped with caterpillars and calcium powder. She seemed uninterested but I'm not surprised as it was her first day being in her new home.

My plan is to make her diet as diverse and natural/raw as possible.

Edit: Oops, I keep referring to it as a female. haha I'm really hoping it's a girl

I love the wood in her/his enclosure! You have a real looker there.

And yes, cat and dog food is awful for skinks.

[Little Wise Owl]

Thanks.

The only dog food/cat food I would feed occasionally would be something with no artificial preservatives, colour, synthetic vitamins or questionable meats (or other questionable ingredients).
