I have a friend with a beloved blue-tongued skink (aptly named Dog) who needs to find another home for a few months. My friend moved into an apartment where her skink is very unwelcome for some reason, probably because of roommates, which I think is a complete jerk move. Apparently so unwelcome that she needs to kick the skink out ASAP. I might be the only reptile-friendly friend who can take care of her skink for a few months, but I'm hoping she can find a more suitable temporary home than me. I don't know very much of the specifics of her situation yet though.
I know next to nothing about any lizard species, which is why I'm worried. If she had a snake, I would take it in a heartbeat, because I trust my experience. Can someone throw me some legitimate care, temperament, diet, handling, and any important information links or paragraphs?
Also, are there any risks (bacteria or illness or something) to keeping the skink in the same room as my ball pythons and dumeril's boa?
