Fire Skink

Hello,
My name is Lucky!!!!! I am new to this, so I wanted to show my self off. This is what I look like. My owner can not figure out why my feet is the way they are. So please have a close look at me and if any one can answer my owners questions, Then that would be awesome cause then he may be able to fix me. My owner bought me in this condition from the Edmonton,AB Londendarry mall PJ Store.

My skink dropped the claws off her right side of her body so she only has toes. They told me it was a birth defect and common for skinks (especially when they travel for such a long time). My girl is fine without them. I wouldn’t worry too much if it doesn’t seem to be causing you pain, Lucky.
If it does seem to be a discomfort, talk to your owner to make them take you to your vet!!
best of luck :)
xoxo

I don’t know the answer to your question, Lucky, but I wanted to let you know how cute you are! I think you’d like living with me, so let’s get that arranged with your owner (;

well its most likely not a birth defect like the guy said and is actually the result of poor care taking seeing as the most common reason for a skink to be missing toes in built up shed that blocks circulation and causes the toes to die and fall off or they were kept with other lizards that bit them off.

either was its not a big deal considering how useless skink toes are
