Easterns are uncommon in North America. This skink is definitely an IJ.

So....I have a whole bunch of questions,
but the one that's troubling me is about.....*drum roll*....poop

I know, I know...I know....there's a thread about fecal issues.
I've read through it a couple times.
I'm concerned because Icky hasn't *gone* on well over a week.
He was semi-regular for the first couple weeks (every-other-day, or so)
Am I being an anxious new herp-parent?
Could it be that his new diet here with us has constipated him?
Could the wee brat be burrowing down and pooping under the substrate so I can't find it?
(though, I think I'd smell that)

Ack....I'm feeling paranoid.
I wish I knew how old he was.
He's got a crazy appetite. He's quite a little piglet, actually.
Do I stop feeding him? Do I take him to the vet?

Oh, lordy...I'm a tad stressed.

If you really want a poop, feed egg and/or banana. Any fruits lead to poop, but those two items are known for causing big, messy, smelly poops.

A warm bath and being active also tend to lead to poops, so you can give those a shot.

If he's still eating and isn't losing weight I wouldn't worry :)

thanks....

I guess constipation/impaction are the things that are worrying me.

Man, little skinks are so much less stressful, lol.
they just eat their crickets and poop their little crispy poops.
So easy.
