Is it okay to feed my skink the leaves that come on top of celery? I wouldn't feed them to him all the time, I'm just wondering if it would be okay to feed him them as long as I have them.

While there are nutrients in celery leaves, I'd avoid them because of oxalates, naturally-occuring "salts," which can complicate waste evacuation, bodily function or accumulate and poison if fed frequently.
I think there's better things to choose for blueys.

Okay, I will continue to feed my little bluey collard greens for his greens.
Thanks,

There's many, many other greens you can feed. Mustard and cilantro are two I like to feed in addition because of the smell.

Have you read the food charts on the caresheet? Kelly has made a downloadable version of these for home use that will define good from bad foods...

Be sure you feed a variety of each food group as well.
