hello.

what have you been feeding?

egg, banana, beans mean they will have runny and stinky poop. some other things too. just like it would give you the same reaction if you ate a lot of it ;)

consider asking ReptileKing for a free fecal examination.

Are u feeding diferently to previous owner,sometimes a diet change can cause soft and or runny poop,plus some foods as linnea pointed out result in the same

Can also be a sign of illness so keep a close on on him/her as if weights dropping to its likely in need of a vet check up

Have you done a fecal test to rule out parasites? Skinks can have diarrhea for a variety of reasons, but it is always a good idea to rule out parasites.
