BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

hey I just fed my bluet mars his usual food, its a mix of greens, veggies and earthworms. He ate the worms first, as usual, but then stopped. he started opening his mouth really wide and moving his tongue around in his mouth. He did this three times. and the second time i think i saw the worm come up a bit, but he swallowed it again. As I'm typing this he ate a little more but then stopped again. I did feed him some new stuff today, including little cubes of squash. is it possible one of those was to big? he doesn't seem to be struggling and went back in his hide.

Should I be worried?!

he ate a bit more and buried himself under his basking rock (his favorite place)

Mine do that quite often when they eat insects. Never any ongoing negative issues.

I've seen the regurgitation with roaches as well.

When feeding hard vegetables like squash I've found grating rather than dicing to make the food easier for the BTS to swallow.

Also what you might have been seeing is him/her filling the gullet before then trying to swallow it,they sometimes do this and wriggle abit to help get it down,commonly seen to when they drink a fair amount

Thanks for the info! Glad its normal
