Just a little tip, open the lid while he is on the ground and not when your skink is in your hand. Element freaked out by the noise of opening the tank (sliding screen lid).



Haha eating your shorts that made me laugh....funny little buggers.

That's hilarious, and great advice!

Hey there,

I posted yesterday but my computer ate it. What a tempermental box! Anywho, Tyler I laughed so hard when you said he began to eat your shorts! :lol: Must've had a good appetite!

aggiegirl, I PM'd you but like I said my computer is psychotic so I don't know if you received it. I don't know when I'll be getting my baby. I sent my payment but I'm waiting for the last little ones to complete their shed so I can pick one. I'd love a girl. Even if it's not a girl (we'll probably never know) she'll be a girl, ya know? lol

Pippi, Glad to hear some good news about interaction with the rest of the family. I have to admit I'm a little apprehensive about even allowing the boys to hold her until she's older.

mewzic-7123, I hope she enjoys vegi's as much as yours obviously loves dog food! lol

Only my oldest and youngest like to and are allowed to hold him. The other two just admire from a distance. The kids I watch are not allowed to hold him. When my kids hold him you can see their brains working because they are so careful with him and are so calm with him...normally they run around like a hyper active terrier.

I do think blueys are great with kids but I think you should be careful with how you let them interact---for everyone's protection. Whoops, I'm sounding like a mom so I'd better quit now! :oops:
Diane, don't forget to post lots of pictures when your tyke arrives! kathy


Haha my mom was like that, so I made sure to get dirty and cut and hurt whenever I could, kisses from dogs on the mouth (not on purpose lol), bit and musked by garter snakes and clawed by lizards and turtles. I bled so much as a little kid, and now my immune system is top notch :lol:

No Problem. I've actually been able to get on a bunch this week after not being on very much for a while.

When I got Chewie, I just stuck my finger in the box, fished around and then pulled him out once he latched on. Not the best way to do it, but at least I got him out of there. ;p
