Mr. Skink update

Postby Gene0514 » Thu Jan 10, 2013 4:09 pm

Haven't been on here in quite a while so figured i should post a small update on my IJ skink. I've had him since August 2011 so close to 1.5 years. Got him when he was probably a month or two old. He's doing very well! Appetite's gotten better over the time i've had him. Though he doesn't wanna eat much right now since its winter.

Here are some photos (albeit not very great ones :P)
He is about 18" long atm
You can tell by the last photo since the tank is 18" wide
