Where's breakfast?

[Lauriek]

Bliss, about to emerge from her tea towel for breakfast.
For those of you who don't know, she sleeps under a folded tea towel

Awe cute! What got her started sleeping under the towel?

[Lauriek]

When I first got her she was about 8 months old and yes, she is a 'she' as she's had babies. When I got her home I put her in a small viv and went out to get her larger viv, but DH had put her in a cardboard box with some straw and just left her out on the back verandah. She's a lizard, he said (er yes, she's a lizard ) . I had gone out and instead of her being a nice warm little girl she was cold and lethargic when I came home. I brought her back into the kitchen and put her in back in the little viv with heat lamp turned on. I was very concerned and my little skink didn't have a hide so I had a warm folded up tea towel. She snuggled into it and promptly went to sleep! She has a hide in her cage but prefers the nice softness of a tea towel !!

By the way, she can't be hand fed as she's vicious around food. She's drawn blood a couple of times when I've been tempting her out because she moves so fast. Otherwise she's a sweetie.

She is soooo cute! Love that little face!

Awe poor thing. But that's adorable. No hand fed treats for her lol. My little fire skink is that way too he even takes a running leap for food sometimes. How old is she now?

Shes a lowlands blotchie

Does she climb in and over stack hide much laurie,i brought some hosmers skinks home a while back and set them up with my centralians and added my old ridgetail monitor stack to cage for hosmers to hide in,the centralians love climbing in and over it as well and sleep in it as well,looks funny as its 5 layers high and they use every bit of it

As Richard said, she's a lowland blotchie. She scrambles into her tea towel through a bit of agi pipe. She can get to it another way but likes the pipe. She often emerges that way too.
She's used to being fed on top of her hide, which looks like a wooden box with an opening. Interestingly, she seems to like poohing in there. The moment she sees me the tongue starts flicking in and out.
