Frank - The Blue Tongue Skink

[Bogertophis]

Oh cool! It's been a while since we've had an update on Frank.

That's too bad that the Zoomed BTS diet doesn't come in smaller cans- couldn't you freeze scoops of it right when you open the can, so it would keep a lot longer? I've done that with Gerber's chicken baby food when I had a small snake that needed tube-feeds- otherwise most of the jar would be a waste- so I scooped out the needed amounts onto waxed paper until they froze, then put the frozen lumps into a container in the freezer, & just thawed one lump at a time as I needed to feed.

I can remember looking up the prices of Reptilinks & thinking they're rather pricey also- especially with the shipping. I hope Frank appreciates how good he has it.

Good idea on freezing the zoomed food.

Frank's pretty cool, but not growing, and therefore no need to update too much. I will work on it though . He's a crowd favorite.

Frank went to town on his food today. He got a couple mealworm pieces (freeze dried and then soaked) stuck to his nose and he looks like he has a horn. Pretty funny.
