When you post, below the box where you type your message there are two tabs. Click on the one that reads 'upload attachment' and then 'choose file'.

Just to add onto what Ali said, you have to be in full editor mode when you post and not quick reply to add pictures.

You can also upload your images to an image hosting site like imgur.com and then encase the direct link with html img tags.... see the second option down here: https://www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=17

I would take a stool sample to the vet - yellowy green poop is often a sign of a giardia infestation ( it can also be a sign of liver failure which could also have been the cause of the other baby's demise)

That is a Halmahera type Indonesian species. Make sure to keep humidity high in his tank by either adding another water bowl under your heat lamp and spraying down the substrate around it, or give him access to a humid hide at all times.

Make sure you've read all the threads in the FAQ section HERE, and also I'll point out the thread at the top of this forum's list of threads that has easy links to all our different sources; I'll link it HERE.

Halmaheras are known for their shyness and timidness, but beside that is the fact that many BTSkinks will always be huffy when you are first reaching for them, and most likely may always huff at you if you are petting it like you do with furry pets. But no worries, over time you will get to know what he likes and dislikes and get really good at reading his body-signals. :)
