before the pics, though, may i give a great big heart-felt THANK YOU to zach and holly for caring so much. if it weren't for this site, i would've gotten a skink from the pet store and had NO idea what to do with it.
so, here goes:
rosalita came packed in a box... nothing exciting about that:
but when i opened it, there was a thank you message! i know, not a big deal, but it shows that they do care. i appreciated it!
then, peanust... i think these are the biodegradable ones made of flour (maybe). if so, super cool! if not, at least it was well packed!
then a bag with a well-tied knot:
so - the way I did it was as follows...
put the bag in the tank
open it up and take a peak. oh, by the way, this little skink was hissing up a fit in there... hee hee, i understand. after my flight to Colombia 2 years ago, i was pretty moody.
after a bit (less than 30 minutes) she was ready to come out... i suspect the warmth from the basking lamp was just too much for her to ignore...
i think she likes the tunnel i made for her... she went back and forth thru it 4 or 5 times!
and, finally, as we would all expect, she made her way to the rock to sit in comfort in her new home!
while my daughter excitedly drew her new favorite pet!





congrats on your new baby


You have roughly the next 2 decades to appreciate that fact!
