Hi , I have had Jinx my bts for a few months now . this is my first time having a skink as a pet , ive had small reptiles before but not many.
My skinks is an indonesian i think. shes either a merauke or halmehara. But whenever i mist her terrarium she doesnt seem to like it? i mean she only comes out when its nice and dry.
I am also worried shes a bit too fat , i feed her 2 meals a week with dog food + veggies + a bit of fruit and sometimes she gets an egg. i ran out of insects but im planning on buying new ones so shes not getting those atm.
she also has some trouble with her breathing , sometimes i catch her breathing with this wistling sound but shes done that since i got her (should i worry about that?)
Also she's very lazy or bored because she doesnt rlly move around in her terrarium much is there anything i can do to make it more interesting for her??
Now my main problem is i've kind of gotten stressed having her , i also have a lot of other pets and i love her so so much but sometimes i dont want to do the whole reptile thing anymore . i wont give her away but i think im gonna redo her whole terrarium and the way i take care of her. Do you guys also get tired of having reptiles sometimes? and do you have anything to re motivate you?
thanks if you reply <33
