New Blue Tongue Skink. Baby stays burrowed.
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2020 12:17 pm
I just got my 3 month old BTS yesterday. When I 1st placed my BTS in its new home my basking light didn't work, but I ordered one and it arrived the following day(today). The problem is my BTS has not come out from borrowing for nearly 10 hours, I have ReptiChip. Now that my basking light works the basking side of the cage is about 95 F and cool side is at 72 F, which should be good. But he is still borrowed. I know they like to borrow but I also want him to eat since he is young(3 months).
My questions are:
1) Did I send him into a burmation state since he had no basking light the 1st day he arrived?
2) Should I put food in his cage and hope he eats?
3) Did I put too much substrate in the tank? I gave him a place to hide with tubing but maybe I put too much substrate in and I am encouraging him to just hide.
You can see my cage.
