Photo update on Kupo! :D

[Lunaire]

I thought I should post more photographs of Kupo since his vet visit weeks ago. He is doing very well, growing bigger, will be a year old in August.

His lip is healing up! He eats every 3 days (should it be more often than that?), loves apples, canned snails and his dog food and fresh veggies. He doesn't like blueberries for some reason. Adores bananas.

Kupo looks fantastic What a shiny skink.

Shiny, sleek, and gorgeous. His lip is healing up great! Looks like he has great body condition so I doubt he would need to eat more often. My adult skink only eats once a week.

Very pretty skinker. I love that name too.

I'm in love with his colors and patterns, simply stunning, and it looks like he has a bright and fun enclosure provided! Happy skinkkk lol =)

Oh! Cute! Have you got a picture of the whole enclosure? it seems to be nicely decorated...

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Yes, I have a photo of the whole enclosure; it is actually quite simple in decor as I wanted to maximize space for Kupo to maneuver around his poop, he has this tendency to be more than happy to run through it!

The plants are meant to cover up the sides a bit and give him some security. It has helped as now he spends 80% of the day just strolling around or laying flat out in the middle or in his basking area. I kept with the minimum of two hides, and he uses both regularly. He likes to dig around in the left hide (cool side).

That flat rock "ramp" you see leading up to his basking spot on the right is to help keep his nails in check. I never need to trim them now. He always uses that ramp to climb up there and bask and I guess the uphill climbing motion is perfect for the nail trimming.

Wow! Beautiful pics, I adore the last one with his little head popping out of his hide LOL too cute

Also thanks for posting a pic of your BTS using the Exo Terra rock cave,
That's what I was asking about in my "how many of you actually use this" thread.
Looks like an ideal purchase

(btw you have the XL. The L is more flat on the top) ^.^

Ohhh! Yeah! Definitely buy it, it's so useful, I've had it ever since Kupo came home and it's his favorite hide ever. Definitely worth the purchase long-term.

Thanks for the clarification! Go for the XL!

[AnnaMonroe]

No, thank you and your photos! I had a tough time deciding on whether or not to purchase it !

Kupo is one of my favourite northerns I have seen on this forum, and hes looking great!

Love the aesthetics of his enclosure too.

I'm glad Kupo's photos help out in some way then. If you ever have questions about things you see in my vivarium or whatever, feel free to ask! And yes, you won't regret the exo-terra hide purchase! Easy to clean too...

Thank you!! I will definitely be purchasing the exo terra hide, but concerning XL, I think I might go with the large because irian jaya's I read aren't as large as northerns, and also because I heard that they like their hides to be a little tight. And I think the XL might be just a tiny tad more than he wants/needs. But the actual hide itself I will definitely buy

Np! Be sure to post photos of your Irian Jaya when you get him/her! <3

Aw, will do <3 !! I'm honestly strongly hoping for a boy, but I heard there isn't really any crazy personality difference so it doesn't matter that much, as long as the bluey is healthy :-)
