Barry's New Condo. :)
Hey all... I finally decided to move Barry back into his condo haha. He has been in a hospital tank for about a month for treatment of mites. He has been mite free for about a week now and I think its safe to move him back in and continue followup treatments (just in case). Also using pre-venta-mite. Hope you all like.

If I was a skink I would definitely want to live there!

Re: Barry's New Condo. :)
Thanks.. yes I use the coconut shreeded substrate. It looks just like dirt. A bit messy.. but holds moisture well and looks nice. I def recc you bake it for 30mins at 325deg to make sure you kill everything in it (just in case) before you place inside your tank. Can never be too safe these days... I just got over a bad mite infestation (free gift from the pet store). lol
