I choped some beef and endive this morning,after I feed my skink I realized the cutting board was used for cut garlic and some juice may left on the food.
Yig looks fine right now,but would garlic juice cause some problem?

Re: Garlic juice problem?
In that small of an amount it's not a problem at all. Of course it's always best to try to avoid it, like cutting skink's veggies before you cut your garlic or onion, or if it's already been done, wash the board, turn it over, or use a different one, but no, the little bit of juice he would have ingested should in no way be a problem.

Re: Garlic juice problem?
thanks,that's really a good news.
By the way,I just found garlic on the ingredients ExoTerra Iguana food...maybe they processed the garlic so no thiosulphate left?

Re: Garlic juice problem?
I don't know if they mean processed garlic or not, or if that's even possible; some claim that garlic only contain trace amounts of thiosulphate and is therefore safe to feed dogs. I personally try to avoid it because the effect of trace amount of thiosulphate is not know on small BTS and so I don't feel it's worth taking the risk.
I feel quite confident however in saying that the trace amount of garlic your skinks may have ingested will extremely likely not harm them at all. Of course, freak reactions can happen, nothing is absolutely certain, but I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
