    Litchi the blue tongue skink : D

    Heres my new little Litchie, 1 year old. its may be hard to see but hes got an uv bulb, heat bulb, substrate and a huuge piece of wood in his home.

    breakfast will be salad, small pieces of banana and crickets dusted in vitamins ( i got the crickets just as a starter up meal, ive got canned catfood too! )

    he seems to be slow on waking up this morning though o__o hope he didnt go into brumation or something.

    great looking BTS you got there. I have had mine for a little over 2 months now. I find they are quite lazy in the morning but by mid day seem to go exploring for water/food and basking spots. I would change the substrate to large bark chips as they can still burro but cant eat the substrate as it is too big. They are lazy sloppy eaters and are bad about getting it in there mouths.

    thank you im just a bit concerned he might have had a bad shedding, his tail is awfully dry and that patch on his head looks like skin too. but ill leave it for now.

    mine wakes up in about 1 hour after i turn on the lamps, and then eats during lunch, and is very active in the late evening.

    ill go with these for a while, i feed him in quite a large bowl so that he wont ingest the wooden pieces ill fill in some more substrate though, i think he got too little.

    1 year old, handtame ( but im waiting a week or so before i pick him up like i did in the store ), though theyre generally very nice and calm he isnt hissy at all.

    very lazy in the morning and too active in the evening. he moves a 50 x 25 cm long wooden thing by himself...

    so, a very nice and determined lizard.
