Weird noises when eating

Do your skinks make weird noises when they eat? It sounds like he is cracking his tiny little bluey knuckles. I think he only does this with wet dog food, and it looks like it happens when he swallows. Is it normal?

Are you sure of which end the noises are coming from. I've never heard anything let rip like my shingles, and it's usually during dinner. Get all 16 of them together and it's like a small symphony. I fed them the other day when a friend was around and he was shocked :shock:

It's always been there, it sounds like what Street is describing.

I wouldn't worry much about odd sounds when eating. If it happens all the time then it might be something to be concerned about, but they sometimes make odd noises while eating. :D
