Blue Tongue Skink concern
I have had my BTS for a while now and have noticed his belly is a reddish color even after shedding. I put a thermostat in his cage to control the temps and i changed his bedding from cypress to aspen because i felt cypress was too rough on him. Could the red just be stained from the dark cypress color or is red just normal in BTS's? And he has a slight whistle. I know sneezing and heavy breathing are common and wheezing is bad, but i am not sure what to make of this in-between noise. Any thoughts?

What type of BTS is it? Do you have pictures of the belly?

My BT skink has a red belly. It's just the colour she is. It's also pretty normal for them to huff and make whistling sounds, what you wanna watch out for is excessive mucus in the nose and mouth, uris can be hard to distinguish in skinks, from my experience with them.

Re: Blue Tongue Skink concern
I have two IJs...their belly is supposed to be red...mine are bright red up until about a week before they shed. Mine do sneeze from time to time...they also do the huff and puff in the mornings.
