digging and moving aspen shavings around

Postby lemon1 » Thu Oct 20, 2011 4:57 pm

Larry has been moving all his shavings so that you can see the glass at the bottom . Sortof like how a dog moves mud/sand . Really funny to watch . He just started doing this while we were away for 3 days . Now he does it daily then scratches at the glass for a few minutes . Do your skinks do this ?

Based on watching all of my reptiles, including coomassie, they don't know really understand glass so they try to go right through it. Also, they don't understand the color black. They just think it is a dark spot to hide.

Mine does make tunnels/dig around in the substrate a lot when hes in a good mood. when he scratches on the glass i usually take him out of his terrarium for a bit to let him get rid of some energy : D

and yes he digs down to the glass. especially in his hide. as coomassie said they are bad with the whole glass concept.
