Hi all
I have recently acquired (a what I now know is) a halmarhera blue tongue skink,though I was told Kermit was a blue tongue skink from Australia.I have researched Kermit's kind as much as I can,but still have many questions because I want to provide him(I think)with the best care and quality of life that I can.He is approximately 5 months old and has an enormous appetite(eats everyday)of salad,crickets,dubia roaches and locusts(as recommended by the shop we bought him from).I have seen many places suggesting dog food is a good staple,his vivarium has a combination of coco fibre and sphagnum moss as substrate,the humidity in hot end is around 65% and cool end high 80's+%.Any further advice on diet,living conditions and general care would be gratefully appreciated.

How about a picture of him? And yes, high grade cat food for youngsters and dog food thereafter is recommended. I usually switch mine over at around 5-6 months to dog food, mixed with whatever cat food I had left from baby season. Humidity for halys 80+ temps 95+ basking site. I have found (I kept them some years back) that they like higher temps than my northerns and easterns.
