Phil and Lulu

[Rhi]

so.. Phil and Lulu are now about 9 months old, they were housed together until December when they started biting each other. Their shared enclosure was in our study, which is used sometimes, not a heavy traffic area. Phil was massive, basking all the time and woofing down the food (especially fruit) and Lulu hid and hissed a lot. We moved Lulu into her own enclosure in our family room (lots of traffic) and she is a different animal. She is adventurous, climbing around the enclosure, on top of her hid and everywhere, and she is curious and bold, she'll come out to have a look at what you are going, and hasn't huffed or hissed once she was moved.
Phil also got a new enclosure and it seemed to take him awhile to adjust (this one has a clear top and the previous one had a solid lid) we have just moved him to a higher traffic area and away from a window so hopefully he will come out of his shell again.

This just goes to show how much stress can affect a skinks personality.
