Beautiful skink! This is a great idea. We are getting a 1 month old Northern next week, I think I will have my son keep a growth chart to see how the BTS grows.

I love these threads! I tried, but I'd only give myself about a C+ on this. The batteries on my scale are dead and I don't have replacements. And only 6 kids got out of bed... the grumpy bear was left alone (probably gravid Northern). Length is tough to get...

Hey, Simon needs a good pic! haha

If you guys don't mind getting those skinks out again it'd be interesting to have SVL(snout to vent) measurements to make comparisons of size easier.

I'll add my one animal in here.

Name: none
Type: Northern
total length: 17.5(missing tail tip)
SVL: about 11.5
Sex: male
age: 12 months
weight:-

At what age did all your animals stop growing in length?

[Katrina]

I mostly measured mine from the tape in the pics (from looking at the pics), so you can estimate SVL from there. My measurements aren't super accurate, I just eyeball it.

For growning - mine stopped noticeably growing about 12-18 months, but it depends a lot on species, diet, individual etc. They grow very, very slowly throughout their lives of course.
