BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I know the quality leaves a little to be desired, but unfortunately my camcorder can't hook to a computer, so I just used to camera phone to capture a 15 second(all I can do at a time) clip of Marley's feast today. He ate at least 20 snails this evening from what the lady let me collect at petsmart..



I dunno if you can hear any crunching or not, the speakers on this computer can't get loud at all. I have to turn the tv down to understand speech in most online videos, lol. Sorry it's short and not that clear, but I thought I would show you all anyway!

His belly is pretty milky white, so he should shed in a week or so, but his belly feels huge after eating all those snails, haha.

**UPDATE**
I know it's not that exciting, but here he is eating a snail out of my hand. Picked up another hundred or 150 from petsmart, so I shouldn't run out for a long time!

I just love him. I can hear the crunching too. It looks like he's enjoying that!

Thanks for sharing it!

no problem Shelly! glad my phone's mic isn't too horrible, i set him on the counter on a towel with 3 snails while i went to fish more from the tank, and could hear it from across the living room... so i was hoping it would get on there. Wish my phone didn't have a 15 second limit though... ah well.

Yay someone else posts a video!

you get a thumbs up just for that.

haha Zach, thats the luckiest lady bug in the world if it's still alive.

added another 15 second clip of hand feeding a snail at the top!

Mate those snails look a bit small, thats no challenge to a skink of Marleys calibre, call in the BIGUNS

haha, some of them take a while for him to eat, like he has to chew on it forever before it cracks, could that be painful, or would he give up if it was?

No mate mine is as stubborn as a mule he's got the "wont beat me " attitude, its good exercise for the gums and jaw

I think if I hand fed a live food to some of my guys, I'd be minus a couple fingers!

Marley's given up on a couple of the bigger ramshorns, usually the very middle is pretty sturdy and he won't be able to pop it, but usually it's just chew chew crunch.

The big ones do have a helter skelter in the middle, mine just leaves that bit
