BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I give Harley fuzzies as treat once in a while. I opened my latest batch and they look funny. Small and dark. Usually they fill their whole little slots in the container and I just wanted to make sure nobody thought they looked too weird before I gave Harley the one am thawing. First, is the mice pic.....



This is me at Marilee's in Vegas with her Tito and Ziggy.


This pic is what I think looks like a sperm plug. Harley look very well-endowed in the back leg area.


Harley not able to find one of Morgana's roaches.


This is how Harley used to like to crawl out of his playpen.

Great pics! Love the one of Harley with his little buddy! Did he shake his head to get it off? It's worse when they lose a snail because they get snail snot all over them.

Wow, your mousies come in little individual containers huh. Ours just come in little zip lock plastic coin bags. They look about the same but. I think you just might've got a little ripped off for your money.

Oh, I recently had some that looked like that. It actually happened because I'd accidently let them thaw then re-froze them. They got funny looking, and when I re-thawed them they smelled really bad and were really messy. Cow loved them though. Maybe yours have the same problem.

Wow, a compliment about pics from the pic/video queen herself.
No, he didn't shake his head. He seemed pretty oblivious.

Actually, Fatal_S, I guess these may have thawed at one time because my new place has frequent power outages.

I put the pinkie in and Harley is ignoring it. He is also ignoring the latest roaches that I give him. He's getting so picky, I don't know what his issue is.

But, I'd like to hear opinions about the supposed sperm plug.

looks like a plug to me!

If you wanna feed the pinkie - don't feed him for 3 or 4 days - then he'll snap it up - realize how good it is - and take them most of the time. all my blueys love pinkies - but some still ignore them from time to time.

not sure about skinks, but i wouldn't feed my pac-man frog (very wimpy animal... always something almost wrong with her) refrozen pinkies/rethawed/or smelly pinkies. in fact, i only leave them in the cage for about 2 hours. if she doesn't eat it, it's trash.

i have a feeling that skinks have stronger digestive systems, but i'm ot taking a chance with the frog.

so, why not a live pinkie... or a hopper? bet that'd be fun to watch!

They look re-frozen.

He'll love em!

Harley's looking so good!! What a relief...

I've never fed f/t, so I'm not sure about them.

Also, I'm not so sure that's a plug.

That roach shot made my cheek itch, mines scared of them I think, he shuts his eyes and waits for them to run away{what a wuss}

I can't believe that I missed Harley's birthday.
What kind of crappy skink Mommy am I? I've been looking at my calendar all month waiting for it to come. Then it was gone!
At least I posted some new pics.

Harley is such a stud muffin.

I wouldn't worry too much about the pinkies. They usually look like that when I buy them from the pet store.

lol. that's great. first time i put one in with my frog, she mounted it. i guess it was a show of dominance. after she realized it osed no threat, she burrowed up and went to sleep... for 4 days.
