Ok so I'm going away for a week in about 2 months so I have time, I'm traveling outside the country so I won't be in the USA. So what options do I have so my BTS is taken care of while I'm gone? Just for some info, he's about a year old, and he eats regularly.

You can have a fried or family member come by to take care of them and you can prepare their food ahead of time and store in the fridge. Or you can take them to an exotic vet office who's equipped to house reptiles. The second option will be less than $20 a day I think but the first option is free.

Thank you. I think I’m going with the latter option since no one in my family likes reptiles and neither any of my close friends know how to take care of them.

They usually do it by appointment and a lot of times they like having the pet undergo a checkup first to make sure they're healthy, so be prepared for that.

Where are you located? Some reptile stores will board reptiles also. The exotic vet suggestion is also great. The key is making sure whomever you leave your skink with you feel completely comfortable.
