Re: Strange Skink Owners
Lol I talk to my skink ALL the time. When he used to get a little huffy I huffed back sometimes and he would look at me like "uhh what?" lol

Re: Strange Skink Owners
When I walk in to my room and he's out rather than hiding like usual, I exclaim as if I haven't seen him in years "Hiiiii Irwin (or Irwy-Birwy, My Little Dragon, Sweet Skinker). How are you today?!?!" I kiss his head and stick my tongue out at him... I use his huffing to locate him when he's buried in the aspen.
Perhaps the weirdest thing I do is allow him to use me as a hide... When I use my laptop I cross my legs and Irwin likes to crawl under the laptop and hang out in a bit of an awkward spot. Hahaha. I told him he should probably take me on a date first, but he won't listen.

Re: Strange Skink Owners
LOL I just imagined all of that happening to you.
I swear, everyone makes BTS sound like the most interesting reptile ever.
Rosie, I think you're better off making dinner reservations yourself if he's not listening lol!

Actually, my train of thought is that the people who don't love reptiles (especially the lovable BTS) are the ones who are crazy!
You think that is hard, I have to justify why I love my tarantulas...

Re: Strange Skink Owners
I can't help but talk to all my pets, reptile and mammal, like they are people! My friends come over for slumber parties and I go and wish every last animal sweet dreams and they just roll their eyes.... they know I'm lost!
