haha, ninja skink! Dunno if yogurt would be dangerous or not, good story though =) I would have laughed too.

I would imagine that yoghurt probably isn't particularly good for skinks, since by their very nature (being reptiles) they will never have a requirement to drink milk or be able to digest lactose.

So my guess is that they're probably lactose intolerant.

All of this is pretty much conjecture though :)

Some speculate that a little yogurt here and there can actually be beneficial...

Wouldn't give it regularly though, but he's in no danger. :)

I had a similar experiance with Quigly and cottage cheese. he nipped a bit, I was worried for a day and when he didn't keel over I stopped. He absoloutly loved it though.

Yogurt is fairly easily digestible in it's nature, as compared to cheese and milk directly. I think making it a regular inclusion to a diet isn't a good idea, but once in a while I think isn't terrible, either.
