New enclosure question
My Bluey is 17" and is in a 40 gallon tank. Is it time to get a larger enclosure or is it still alright to hold off for now?

A 40 Long (36x18X18) is generally considered to be the bare minimum for an adult skink. My adult IJ has lived in one his whole life thus far, I'd love the opportunity to upgrade to a larger space for him but until then the 40L suffices.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

I got mine in 40 gal longs also. They seem to do fine. I 'ill probably upgrade them into custom enclosures if i find a condo 5 months from right no', but most likely they'll be stuck in their cages for a bit longer.
