The 'Museum' Skink We Saw Today!!

Postby BlueyBabe » Thu Feb 21, 2008 8:57 pm

Hello again!

Today my mom and I went to the kids museum. She wanted us to do something while I was on school break. =]

There where a few reptiles there, but one really caught my eye. Can you guess what it was? A blue tonge skink!!

This is what they had for reptiles:
A sad looking Leopard gecko
A Corn Snake, could not really see him, he was hiding. (I would not blame him, little children tapping on the cage 24/7)
A Bull Snake, could not really see him either ..
A BullFrog
Two small turtles
A Bearded Dragon, poor little guy was in his hide the whole time. :(
A really neat tortise!

That was all for reptiles ... =]

Anyways,

He was in a good size
cage.
In his cage he had;
1 hide, 1 large water dish and a few fake plants in his cage. He looked very sad and grumpy. To me he looked underweight. But rather than that he was O.K...

I really want one of these hides, big and roomy!

where in any of those pics can you see the tail well enough to say it's underweight?

You can't!

I agree, cant see any upclose tail to say the skink is overweight.

Great looking skink tho :)

I thought he was an IJ,and didnt look skinny/underweight to me.You'd be an unhappy skink if you had a too tall not wide enough bath,with no substrate to go hide in,don't see a basking light and rock either.

I would re post them but .. I deleted them off of my photo list on repticzone, so that means they will not show up and I can't re post them. I am really sorry about that... =]
