BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

While getting Bindi's starting statistics this morning, I thought I would do a comparison based on a 9.5 week age difference between her and Irwin. So I took Irwin's stats again this morning. Both skinks were about the same age when I received them, and fairly close to the same measurments. For those still interested in growth rates, Irwin is 15 weeks old today. Bindi is 5 1/2 weeks. I'm interested in seeing what Bindi's stats will be in 9 1/2 weeks when she is 15 weeks old. I'll be feeding the same varied meals to each, splitting the batch between them. This should show me some metabolism differences between the Northern and the Irian Jaya.

Here's a couple shots from today in the measurment tub.

Irwin: 15 weeks today weight: 225 gr. Length: 13.61"

Bindi 5.5 weeks old. Weight: 70 gr. Length: 9.15"


I just love to watch them grow!

wow irwins HUGE! my wiomi is one year old and he just got 15 inches, how do you get the string to stick?

Hi mewzic,

That's a screenshot of SnakeMeasurer freeware. No string used. Just download this free software. It's great, and easy to use, especially for snakes. All you need is a camera.
