Bts ?

Does any one here have BTS? I just adopted one from a friend who cant take care of it any more. I was just wondering about a diet for it. It seems to be a tad bit over weight.

what is "BTS"?

BTS = Blue Tongue Skink. I don't have anything more to add because I don't have any experience, but I would love to see pics of the big guy. I was going back and forth between a BTS and a Beardie several years ago, then was offered a beardie for free...

thanks, now i feel stupid i was thinking of snakes. but i have nothing either, ive never had one

well i know its mostly veggies,some fruits,crickets & occasionaly a pinkie powdered in calcium...there a forum call blue tongued skinks they might will help you over there gogle it!!

Their diet isn't much different than a bearded dragon. They also tend to be fat lil guys so pics would help in the fat lizard dept.

I'd like to see some pics of the guy as well.:please:

Diet depends on age. Really young should get more protein (chicken, turkey, LEAN beef, canned GOOD cat food), older should have a balance of protein and veggies with occasional fruits. DO NOT give baby food or cheap cat food! :)

These guys need lots of floor space, so the longer/wider the cage the better. Some, especially adults, brumate over the winter, so don't be too alarmed if yours stops eating and being active. :)

For more info, go to www.bluetongueskinks.net it's the best BTS site with great care sheets and knowing folks. :D
