I successfully sexed all my skinks by judging behavior with being with other skink.. one actually dropped 2 sperm-plugs that same day.. I guess he got a little too horny. :lol:

Between 1 or 2 usually. The white thing is called a urate. :)

Oh sorry, just got around to this. :wink:

I would feed Cerelac, since it is a human-made food.. but that's me.. a lot of people feed a lot more crazier things, lol.

Yeah, I do have a lot of animals. :) A few aren't even mine, but I still take care of them. A got to add a few more animals to that list, lol.

Bromance, huh? :lol:

Sorry, typo.. I wouldn't feed**

Probably a 30 year old skink, lol. On average, the Merauke is the longest. :P

Most of the ones I have seen are completely black, but not of them follow the pattern. Like saying all IJ's have thicker bands than Merauke.. and my IJ has thinner bands than all my Meraukes.. but people would give a general description of that. :lol:

Bromance..
hahahhaha!
Yes bro, I even heard that some people feed them cheese. LOL. Which is a big no no.
I wonder how would a skink get that big..
If its age, I thought BTSs would grow just about to 17-22 years. :O

Sis, the average for a halmahera would likely be the same as an Indonesian.
