BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

He's a little doll that one. He backs away when I ambush him inside his cage, but If I leave it open, he'll sooon find his way out and go exploring. He really likes to get into the guitar. A wonderful time spent getting him out of that. I can feed him out of my hand, and he's too cute to watch when he still smells food on me and chases my poor hand around to chew on. Aww

Cage seems to be home-made, and quite poorly, but never the less works wonderfully.


Hot side


Cool side (except I moved the water closer to the end and realized a deep food dish just won't cut it.)


Where's the skink?


Thar he is!


Interuppting his basking.



I took several hundred pics of him in this position.

Coming out to eat. I better clean that cage...


And the water dish has that grime that builts up in water containers. What can I use to safely remove that? Scrubing doesn't work well enough.

nice setup!

Nice cage and nice lookin' skink! Tell your boy we want to see more pictures of him!

He is gorgeous and I like the cage, too... homemade or not

You might try soaking the water dish with vinegar or lemon juice and really hot water... it should break up the hard water deposits on the sides. A good scrubber and some elbow power will get the worst of it off.

Elbow power... so much work..
But I will try the vinegar.

Nice viv, looks like a great home for your bluey!


Is that lettuce in the food bowl?

He looks remarkably like Lilly.

Any idea what type of Bluey he is? Oh and needless to say he's beautiful

Not lettuce, endive.

He's an IJ.

I took several hundred pics of him in this position.

I'm QUITE familiar with that!
