BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I came home yesterday to find the skink tank in horrifying shape. Substrate was cleared out of one corner and poo was smeared all over the bottom and side of the enclosure. The water had become a murky shade of tan. I immediately took Ping into custody for questioning. He did not say a word, but the evidence was all over his face.




I do not know if he actually ate the poo, but one thing is certain: something very unnatural went down yesterday. He has been sentenced to extra collard greens for one week.

He must also undergo cuddle therapy.

(notice the pigment has returned to the "bald spot" on the tail, but it still looks different)

Oh Amanda, there's nothing wrong with a little poo poo party! "When the cat's away............." I can imagine your surprise! Irwin has done a lot of walk throughs, but has never tried to make artwork out of it.

By the way, his tail is looking a lot better!

Looks like he got a little turdstasche from the poo poo platter.

Well i know that.

It happens sometime amongst me many bts, don`t know the reason

mabye just because of, Hey. lets give the keeper something to do

attitude .

Maybe he was watching that Disney movie with the monkey that says "If you have poo now's the time to fling it".

Jeez Louise someone was a naughty boy. Maybe it's his name. My sister used to have a Vietnamese pot bellied pig named Ping the Terrible. If you made the mistake of opening your car door or sitting on the porch step she would run up to you and open her mouth wide making a noise something akin to the huffing and puffing Blueys make. Of course it was much louder and was presented with many teeth. While it was quite fierce all she wanted was a treat and a scratch. Maybe your boy just wanted some attention so he made an art project for you. I guess you won't hanging that one on the fridge though.

Perhaps Ping was just in the wrong place at the wrong time

My blue hates bananas and one day i thought i would leave them in there and try to force him to eat them. he smelled them crawled over them and pooed right in the bowl. I thought he definantly gothis point across to me.

That was probably his big art masterpiece and you had the nerve to clean it up!

Oh and glad to see the little muffins tail is gaining in color.

You made me laugh with this thread this morning. Thanks for starting my day out with a smile.

Sometimes I wonder if that dangerous UVB lamp cooked his noodle. The skink is out of his gourd. For instance, he ALWAYS sleeps with his head out in the open.



Thanks for all the comments!

That is so sweet! I hardly ever catch Sammy with her eyes closed out in the open like that.

That sleeping picture is so dang cute!!! Adorable

Awesome photos, very clear!
Wish i could get some that good!

Nice spread{no punn meant} good to see the colour back in the tail, just needs pumping up now.

Well one of mine hides her head and leaves the rest of her body out in the open.
