My skink has diarrhea and his colors are dull, is he sick!?

Postby Scarlet Wolf » Mon Feb 11, 2019 4:38 pm

I got my blue tongue skink last month and three days ago I noticed his poop was runny. I decided to give him a few days. His poop is still runny and now his colors are foggy, should I be worried or is this normal? I don’t know his age or gender, but I assume he is 4 months old.

Skink's colours dull down when they are about to shed. What is your skink's diet? That could help determine what is causing the diarrhea. Has your skink shed with you before? Depending on the subspecies, there are different humidity levels your skink will need to complete a shed well.
