BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

since i cant find or make a big enogh water bowl for homer she can just fit in her tub now lol would a 50 % land and a 50% water set up be good? or a 90% and a 10 % water or some thing like that would this be ok?

Use a pastry dish or a brownie tin, he aint too big for one of those is he?

how big is your tank? Unless you have a huge set-up I think having a built-in pond...no matter if it is 10% or 50%...would increase the humidity too much. Pyrex baking dishes work wonders...they are large enough to soak in and heavy enough to not get flipped over. I use the 9x9 pans in my tanks.

Don't tell your mom but shallow casserole dishes work great!!! Don't do semi aquatic as these are a pain to clean and your bluey will wreck a set up like that! Get something easy to clean! Better yet, if there is not a casserole that will work in the cabinet, go buy a shallow blue casserole to match Homer's tongue.

Ok i have a 40 gal. i wont make that 50 50 set up. lol i dont the we have those. but i was looking at the care sheet again and i forgot about cat boxes lol

Yummo! Wing me one of them brownies thanks, Leigh!

Mike, you don't need to have a water dish big enough for them to soak in. They sure don't soak in the wild! A water bowl for drinking is all you need for australian species.

ok cool thanks!!!

Lisa, are you sure they don't "soak" (I'm sure there's a better word) in the wild? I have heard many accounts of them being seen using watering holes very often.

Also, these are big animals that I think need a big water source, and it also helps keep your humidity in check. A tiny saucer won't.

ok swo i should go to petsmart or petco soon and get her a littler pan lol

It'd be too dear from a petstore, go to an iron mongers or a habadashery.

Herp boy ... in American terms Leigh is saying the Dollar Store or Wal-Mart.

Mike, oops, I was looking at Leigh's water dish.

lol ok. I dont like Wall-mart. i will look for one at the store. i found one at my house but my mom said i cant use it lol.

lol habadashery makes me laugh just thinking about the word. I swear if you would up to someone and say "let's go to the old habadashery"man the look that they would giveyou

Good job in not supporting Walmart!

I need to start using 'habadashery' in everyday conversation. I'm going to make it my goal to say it tomorrow with my friends in a conversation ^.^ I love this forum. I mean Deadeye alone could give me a whole new vocabulary, nevermind Leigh and others.

Walmart is a load of cow-plop. Anyone seen the Walmart movie? It's called Walmart-The high cost of low prices. Made me want to burn things. Thankfully it's not considered so bad here in Canada, but I still avoid it. Poo on them.

Oh, and between Cadets and this forum, I don't think I even remember my colorful adjectives...

Fatal ... if you are going to use habadashery in every conversation I think it's only fair if you work in Iron Monger too! That one kills me!
