Hello, first time posting here. Actually, second time, this time I actually own a skink!

His eyes are very squinty now after wiping him down. They're open, but squinty.
He's a northern, on orchid bark, humidity is around 50%, going down to around 45% now that the weather is changing here. Basking spot is 95F, cold side around 75F. He's also almost 3 months old, born on June 29th.
