How is he looking?

Not sure about age as he was given to me from someone who couldn’t look after him anymore, but how does he appear weight wise? He’s great to handle and very well socialized, just trying to get an idea of how his feeding schedule should look at this point! Thank you!

Didn’t realise I was not the hide and seek champion

So I have 3 scaly babies and I will often spend time with them out of their tanks. More often than not, one of them gets up to mischief. Today’s notable offence

Is this a sperm plug??

I’m so sorry for the gross photo lol… I just found this near my blue tongue skinks poop. I’m trying to figure out if it’s a sperm plug or just urates? There’s a red arrow pointing to what I’m talking about.

Tank Size, and General Advice Needed Please

Hi!

Will welcome our BTS in May (2.5 months old) and I'm trying to figure out the best option for setup. I'm planning on building a ~6x2x2 PVC enclosure but unsure if I should do that now, and have it be their home right away (with lots of hiding spots) or if I should start with a smaller setup and build the big one later. Perks of starting big would be not wasting money on a smaller set-up if it's not necessary.

Also, there's so much info online and I'm feeling a little lost by it all. Anyone have a resource recommendation you'd say I can just straight up follow? And/or anyone willing to provide a little bit of mentorship as we get going?

Thanks!

Brumation Update + Help

(Sorry if I'm using the wrong flair I wasn't sure which one fit better)

A few months back I made a post relatively similar to this asking about my skink's brumation. It's been about 6 months now, which I'm assuming is fine! The weather has only just now began to warm up and we aren't having snowstorms every week 😭😭 BUT I wanted to check with others to make sure he's still okay.

He's still alive and reactive when I check on him when I prod at the substrate, but I can't help but worry. His basking light is on during the day but he chose to brumate under his log, so it's a bit cooler regardless.

I'm pretty sure he actually went from being from next to the log to under it at one point but idk when that happened he just. Moved. Idk. LOL

But yeah, tl;dr, should I be doing anything about this now? He started this in october :3
