Remember it sometimes takes a bluey a little while to settle in and get comfertable. I've found that with some of my more timid blueys adding fake plants and plenty of hides help. They come out more because they feel more secure.

Sounds like you have a pretty cool mom! Now that she has bought the bluey, you can spend more on a bigger tank, temp gun, etc. He is handsome and looks healthy. Glad he is eating well. Just be patient and keep handling him! Sounds like you are doing a great job! Keep it up and keep us posted!

I bought him some plants and a hide log, and you're right. He's out ALOT more. He is climbing over everything and exploring. :thumbs:

Its funny how sometimes these guys just come to you, Its like they choose you instead of you choosing them, through whatever actions of the universe! (like Moms, and friends of friends!) Anyways, congrats on Rodney, he's a beauty, and I love that he's got possessed red eyes. :twisted:

I'm sure his personality is sweet as pie though. Hooray for rescued Skinkies! More pics soon?

I find that mine seems to daydream about coming out of his tank, i go to see him and he's sat there looking quite bored then when he realises that I'm going to be there for more than a quick check up he gets well excited and very active, and pesters to be let out, I usually oblige and he's loves it. They all have there own little traits ,thats what makes them the great pets they are.
MMMmmmmm... Something???????

Ill take some pics in a little bit. I am gonna get my sisters good camera and take some good ones. Yeah its strage how things work like that. Rodney is scared when I open the top, so I pet him to try to calm him. Once he is out he is pretty good. He always try to crawl away, but he's been getting better.
