I understand there is minimal knowledge about the exact needs for the variety of skinks out there, but so I'm wondering what could be transferable from turtles to skinks and what isn't? Are there extremely comprehensive lists/databases out there? (Besides this one http://www.bluetongueskinks.org/forum/app.php/page/food-chart )
I'll give you all a list of resources I have for omnivorous aquatic turtles and general guidelines about various fruits and veggies and their potential toxicity.
I guess what I'm looking for is specific vitamins and minerals Skinks are prone to OD'ing too, their sensitivity to other things like taurine, oxalic acid, thiaminase and how these links would be beneficial in IDing the foods that should be fed in moderation versus whats safe to make part of their staple diet? Obviously, this research was done for turtles and torts so amounts and frequencies of feeding may not necessarily apply. Though Thiaminase has the same effect for all living animals that need vitamin B as far as I can tell.
Veggie database: http://www.thetortoisetable.org.uk/ - This is a huge database, but you should be able to quickly find any and all things you've ever fed your skinks.

I hope what I'm asking makes sense.
