It's normal for them to sneeze, especially if they burrow around a lot.
They get dust, water, food, etc. in their little nostrils and sneeze!
Spyro sneezes all the time. Don't be worried ;D

Yes sneezing is normal.
Just keep in mind that your skink has had a rough time being shipped from Cali etc. Make sure he has a secure hide and good hot spot so his body is able to keep itself healthy while he/she adjusts to it's new home.

haha they sneeze a lot, especially with wood shavings or other types of shavings that have particulates. If there is mucus or bubbles coming out...get to a vet ASAP! If not...you are fine :)
