Since we try to give our pets the best care we can, we are commited to giving them all a little enrichment whenever we have a chance. Today was our girl Grendel's turn.
For today's enrichment session we placed a couple of big, fat hornworms in a wiffleball and let her nose it around the enclosure trying to get them out. The first one took a while, with her getting the ball stuck between the wall of her enclosure and one of her cork logs.
The second took a little over a minute and is linked below so everyone can enjoy the show.

Re: Skink Enrichment
I've been wanting to get some balls and try something like that with my two, for now I use one of TC Houston's methods which is the scenting enrichment using dollar store children 'food' toys.
My 6 month old has no interest in hers but Sebs loves his corn of many smells.
