BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I think she approves of her new tube lol


& my merauke is slowly starting to come out of brumation and eat again.


dinner for the girls

Great pics

And the food looks delicious, too

Just a question in general:
Isn't it better to give a shelter with 2 ways out, in both directions?
Now she has to go *IN* in one way, and has to come *OUT* with:
a) face front
b) when threatened, backwards
She hasn't got the opportunity to turn?


But nice girl,and good food

my Pomme LOVES his tube too!
he spends way more time in the tube than in the more "secure" hide.

really cute! always nice when gifts are appreciated.

The ones of mine that have tubes spend most of their time in them I do think with how clumsy and sausage-like the skinks are, Kenn has a good point...you may want to make it open on both sides if it isnt already. I hope she doesnt get any larger or you may also be looking at a stuck skink, or the pics could just be making the tube look smaller than it is

she has a half log, and a couple things of cork bark too so that isnt her only hide, mine usually just bury themselves as a hide anyways... To offer a hide as you are describing, wouldnt the only option be like a rubbermaid tub with 2 holes cut? I cant think of another way of offering 2 exits....

oh and it is open on both ends, i think the pic does make it look a lot smaller because theres plenty of room all around here and i dont expect her to grow any more shes 13 yrs old. lol

i dont expect her to grow any more shes 13 yrs old

LOL yeah you are probably right on that one, I meant fatter more so though

I use large PVC pipes for my guys, normally the 4" stuff. Also, for some reason, I thought it wasnt open on both ends, that is a good thing!
