Yeah they eat at seperate times so i see they are getting enough but his brother just moved to a new home so i won't have to worry about it anymore.

His head is so small and he isn't very solid either, is that normal?
His brother looks months older than him.

They start to grow heaps around age 6-8 months. Nowish, in other words!
I mean, they're born roughly Dec-Mar, straight into autumn, have a winter kip, wake up about now and really start to grow. It's amazing the difference in them between 6 months old and a year/year and a half old.

If he is energetic (as energetic as they are this time of year), alert, glossy, no discharge from eyes or nose, eating, pooing etc then he's ok. There's no hurry to get him full grown.

Yeah he seems fine, not eating a lot though but i was told thats ok.
He's just a little skink, and the people that brought my other one off me said he was cute for being so small.
BTW they have like 10 blueys and keep alot of them together without dramas, even keep their shingles in with them too.

This conversation has been had. Unless it is a large outdoor pit most of us on the site feel that the risk of something happening is not work it.
