 Baby Skinks Have Arrived!

I am SO excited. My huge greyhound bus of a skink finally burst. She had a total of 16 babies. One was stillborn, the other was apparently attacked, either by the mom or siblings. She had them sometime this afternoon. Its so strange, this morning I threw up so I stayed home from school. Pretty convenient coincidence.

There are 14 live babies right now. I really wasnt expecting so many lol... Im keeping two and already have two on hold for Edel. Not sure where I am going to sell the other 10. I’ll admit it, Im keeping the two prettiest, but hey, MY SKINKS! lol... There’s one thats just gorgeous, almost completely orange.

Of course today is the day I lose my camera... Ive been looking for it for half an hour. When I find it I’ll post pics of them all. There was a weird smell in the house today, I wonder if all the gross afterbirth and blood was the source.


Im about to scream like a little girl, so I’ll stop here... off to look for the camera!

Yeah theyre blue tongues... guess I forgot to mention that lol... Found the camera! Excuse the blurry pics, I couldnt get the camera to focus and just wanted to get SOME pics up. I’ll get better ones later, probably individuals so Edel and anyone else that wants one can choose. I couldnt find all the babies, they were scattered all over the place. Poor things are scared to death of me. And they bite... hard. lol... I was using a plastic scoop to pick them up, one clamped onto the side and was standing straight up in the air doing a headstand for 2 minutes before it let go. They keep flashing their tongues and whipping their tails too. So, who wants one?! LOL
















The last four pics are the two skinks I plan on keeping. All the others are up for grabs after Edel and CP pick out two.

A couple pics of the parents







Ahh good day... Baby skinks, day off school... and I just found out my dogs ate my mom’s hideous "crocs".

LOL Lisa... some of them can be held and just wanna wander around right now. Others are kinda pyscho. Im sure its just their instincts taking over. Theyre gonna get daily handling so they’ll calm down soon enough.

Individual pics coming in a little bit... thanks for the compliments!

It’s fine, Danny. I can wait. Like I said, I’m in no hurry. I’ve waited 3 years. I can wait a little longer.

Here’s a pretty good care sheet for them if anybody is thinking about getting a baby: Link. They’re pretty similar to beardies as far as cage temp and requirements go. What do you feed yours, Danny? I know a lot of people feed theirs wet dog food and use a blender to mix in greens and even the bugs. I’ll have to find a list of all the stuff they can eat and post that on my fridge along with my beairdie and uro lists. Gosh, I’m going to need a bigger fridge. lol

I know! I’ve been looking for a baby for a few years now. All the BTSs I’ve come across were VERY grouchy because they weren’t handled a lot. Their little nails hurt when they’re wriggling around trying to get away. I’ll definitely handle mine every day.

The babies just took their first meal. I gave them some sweet potato baby food and I mashed up some gerber graduates chicken sticks. Im going to offer them a little cat food later. I hand fed them to help associate losing the grumpiness with getting tastey food. If they tried to bite me I moved on to the next baby. After a full stomach they were all pretty cuddly... I could pet and hold every baby except this guy. Which is, of course, one of the ones I said Im keeping... lol... I dunno, Im only keeping two, but after that feeding I have a new buddy... lol. This is the little jerk that still hasnt calmed down.




I give their parents the same greens I give my dragons. The staples being mostly collard, mustard, and turnip greens. Usually I’ll chop it up as fine as I can get it and hide it in their other food (a little cat food, mashed fruit, a bit of baby food, or their proteins). Sometimes they’ll take the greens by themselves though. I’ll admit, Ive gotten really creative. I took a small FT mouse and stuffed it with greens. LOL... They like squashes too, the same ones you feed your beardies. They love their meats. They get mice, cat food, chicken, beef, turkey, sometimes the occasional eggs. Basically whatever meats we have in the house. I love to treat them to a little tastey mental stimulation. Its a blast to watch... either give them an egg and let them crack it open and lick out the insides, or give them (supervised) a mouse. An adult diet is 50/40/10 (veggies, meat, fruit) and they do hunt in the wild so giving them a mouse to kill every now and then lets them keep their instincts active. This isnt neccesary, but its a good activity for them. You dont have to do it if you dont feel comfortable with it. lol Im sure CP would enjoy watching them hunt.


I’ll get some pics of them eating, just to make you guys cringe at the adorableness. No reptile is cuter than a baby bluey scuttling around with a mouth full of chicken.
