BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hey there all,
I'm an active member of another reptile related forum, mostly dedicated to ball pythons. We are getting our first Blue Tongue Skink tomorrow! He/she is a Northern Blue Tongue Skink from Bonita Galas down here in Florida. I will be sure to post pictures when he/she arrives Our bluey is currently on Natural balance can dog food (Venison and sweet potato) so I picked up some of that, mustard greens, and some blueberries for treats. I also grabbed a can of Wellness - CORE wet dog food (Grain Free - Turkey, Chicken Liver, and Turkey Liver) to mix into the natural balance / greens mix. I would like your opinion on the CORE, as this is a baby BTS I didn't think the reduced fat would be appropriate just yet. I would like to switch the baby over entirely to the CORE line, as it has a lot more mix in the veggies department, but would love everyone's opinion on it.

This is technically a Christmas present for my daughter, but I think I am more excited about it than she is! That's ok, because I will be the one taking care of it for a while anyways (She's only 4, but she's very gentle and great with the bp's)

Ok...is it referred to as bts.net or bts.org...I'm confused now

Net ,org,6 of one,half a dozen of the other,lol

One and the same

I havnt used either of the wetfoods u describe so cant comment on them,i use pedigree for my lot,sometimes chum,u can always mix greens into the wetfood to increase veggie content of meals

Welcome to the forum.

BTS.net should take you to the main page of the website, while BTS.org takes you straight to the forums. You can also get to thhe forum from the main page by clicking the "Forums & Classifieds" tab at the top of the page.

Welcome! And usually i go to http://www.bluetongueskinks.net/forum

Hey Congratulations! I got my bluey from Bonita as well (Nothing to worry about with her transactions!)

Looking forward to seeing some pictures, and I am also from that ball python related website

Not sure if it was just for me, but the Forums seemed down for the past 24ish hrs or so Anywho, got my baby! He's adorable! Super spunky and loves to eat
Pics, as promised More once he settles in of course, these were the day he got here and I had my light tent set up already so I took advantage of it!




I would HIGHLY suggest working with Bonita, she was awesome! And she is such a sweetheart!

Welcome! I have used the wellness foods in the past for skinks, dogs, and cat. They all did well on them. I have used the core canned for my cat prior to him needing to be put on a prescription diet with good results. I would not be afraid to use any of the wellness products.

The skink is beautiful. I have seen Bonita's ads in the past and seems like she produces nice looking skinks.

Great pictures, beautiful Skink
