Growth rate?

Postby evanescent » Tue Jul 10, 2012 9:24 am

So there's this bluey on CL.
I've been doing research for a bit now, and decided I was going to wait a year or three for one with black eyelets. But this little guy needs help, plus he's freaking adorable.

He's currently 5" long, and born May 12th. I'm just wondering what size viv I should get for the little guy, assuming they're like beardies and get agoraphobic in huge enclosures as babies.

I plan on getting a Critter Condo(sliding glass melamine enclosure) for him, like I have for my beardies. They're pretty expensive, so I'd like to get a size that'll fit him for at least a few months..

BTS have no problem starting in adult-size tanks. Your skink could reach adult size in 6 months if you feed him a lot, or it could take 1-3 years.
