BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hi, I have been reading a lot of topics where people say their skinks are like a foot at four months old so I measured Percy again and he is only a foot and nine months old is that normal ? Maybe I'm just paranoid... Thanks!!!

Honestly, there isnt really a clear cut (or even murky) growth/weight/length guide for blueys since SO much relies on diet, age, lighting, heating, etc. He looks healthy to me though

Yeah I thought so I was just about to feed him but his food was frozen its thawing now. Thank you by the way I was a little paranoid with his health since my friend's lizard just died out of the blue (tongue skink!) so I've been researching even more about health problems. Thank you!!!

Don't worry - giving the skink time to grow slowly is good. It gives their bones time to develop and keep up with their weight. You don't necessarily want a giant skink at a young age - it isn't what would occur in the wild and there is no reason to grow them super fast, even if they will eat that much. You skink sounds just fine.

Thank you very much !!!
