A BTS Christmas

Postby Susann » Sun Dec 25, 2011 8:52 pm

So the poor guys FINALLY got some better-looking stuff in their vivs, other than the pieces of cardboard and upside-down tubs they had before (which work great, just look a bit sad...).

Very jealous, Susann! Cages are beautiful as well as the skinks in them!

:oops: Very kind.
I REALLY hope Milo stops rubbing his nose raw now! It breaks my heart watching him traipse back and forth--back and forth, ALL day! He has got 3 hides and the plants. If that's not enough, I really don't know what I'm going to do. He looks like he has a cleft palate, that's how rubbed his lip is, you can see his top gum and a tooth when his mouth is closed! :cry:

Plan is to swap the small guys into two of these vivs, and give Milo and Xyla the big ones.
I'm hoping within a few weeks we can have all 5 vivs transferred upstairs, we'll overhaul all 5 and swap "who goes where" then. That will be almost 8 weeks of quarantine.

Question: Did you get the small plants with the thick leaves that are in all of the enclosures at Walmart? They all look great btw.

I love them! It looks so nice.

Elliot used to pace and rub his nose a whole lot when I first got him... he doesn't do it much at all anymore.
Maybe Milo will stop soon, too!

I ask bc I bought a plant that looked very similar to yours from Walmart for my enclosure and I had to return it bc I noticed the paint that was used on the pot rubbed off when wet. I went to clean it before I put it in the tank and the green patina all rubbed off and became a sticky and slimy mess. If it is I just wanted to caution you.

Beautiful enclosure...!! I'd like to build someting like that but still no point at my place too hot and humidity so high, which much better have more fresh air straight trough. Plus Im keeping all my skink not in house.
