nah i didn't mean it like that - I just didn't see the connection - mainly between COPS, the girls fighting on COPS and the sick skink. It just made me laugh that's all mate.

have hard night on it mate? I went out to see a mates band play and woke up at 7:30am this morning feeling of guts, like I just went to snooze an hour earlier. I reckon someone slipped something into my drinks - I was smashed

Where is he in the shed cycle? That might explain some of the color change. I've also noticed that some of my guy's bellies will get pinker after being outside.

My Mr. Booger is allergic (or at least sensitive) to shavings of any kind. He had a respitory infection when I first got him, among many other problems. So now his substrate is just layered plain white paper towels. He can't burrow in them, but he's got a lot of fake foliage and flowers and hides and stuff to have fun in. He's been fine ever since removing the shavings. I think he is just sensitive with anything that gives off any kind of dust.

See, it isn't Ian's Aussie that's hard to understand, it's just Ian, us crazy mates have to look out for each other, so I can interpret. :rofl: He's a fan of the show "Cops," after all. A good way to get to know the real America... :rofl:

Ian you crack me up.

Back to the issue at hand...

Kmarley good luck getting to someone who knows better at Davis. The vet you went to sounds like they're... well... let's say nicely "inadequate for your needs." Pink stomachs happen on skinks sometimes because they shed! My Rollie's tail is very pink on the underside, and he's quite well.

This is a classic example to anyone wondering what happens when non-specialist vets take on reptiles (or any exotics). They may have good intentions, but what if it's something really serious?

Let us know how things turn out!
