Apollo is quite a mighty skink x'D he really does look like a sun god with those colours.

He does look pretty tough, I'll bet he's a big softy though. :lol:


Just out of curiosity, what substrate are you keeping him on? It looks like birdseed or tiny rocks/sand? You may want to take a quick look at the caresheet for substrate options, there are a lot of good choices that your skink will do better with than whatever is hanging from his mouth and eye there. :)

Beautiful skink, love the name Apollo. We use many mythological names for pets here. Our two cats are Zues, and Athena. Thor is our bts.

its millet. i use it because i ran out of aspen and when i bought him the breeder gave me millet bc thats all he uses. its really easy to keep clean and it doesn't bother his digestion. plus he rarely eats it bc i have his food dish on elevated reptile carpet. he was just being messy today.

and ur right, he's a huge softy! I've been trying to feed him his first meal worms the past few days and he isn't interested. he doesn't run away but he doesn't like to be near them at all :/
