Advice Needed
Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2021 7:56 am
Hello! To put it shortly: I am at a total loss.
I have an Indonesian Blue Tongue Skink (sold to me as a Northern which I quickly found was not the case but could not contact the seller afterwards). He (unconfirmed sex, just how I refer to him) has been with me for about a year. He despises handling and it makes him extremely stressed so I am more than happy for him to live as a display only.
The problem is that I have been doing everything right for him, feeding, humidty, substrate, heat, etc. I've looked over countless care sheets. He looks emaciated. He is eating regularly and drinking fine. I've spent hundreds taking him to the vet for tests and they can't find anything but he isn't putting on weight at all even on a fattening diet. I don't know what to do anymore and any advice is extremely welcome at this point.
