Good morning Elle I learned a lot about the crocodile skink in this one. I didn't know that baby's did not have red eye's but that they turn red as they get older. Thank you for all you do. Have a great Sunday and see you next weekend. GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖

This was a great video! When you offer such a large variety of food sources do you keep all them at once or feed Dubia when they are gone purchase something else and so on. Do you feed daily or 2-3 times a week. Asking for a friend that wants one 😉.

Since I have quite a few animals, I keep multiple kinds of feeders in my house at once. But if I run out, I just feed the dubia until the next shipment comes in 😊 and I feed her as she runs out of food, but she tends to pace herself. So usually I'm putting food in every other day in the summer, or every 3-4 days in the winter

What plants do you use for you RECS enclosure?
I wish i could find one in my area
I adore my croc skink trio, even though only the male comes to me to be hand fed. It’s amazing building that trust, and bsf was how I tamed him lol. The girls always hide, but I’m working on them. I didn’t know about your Etsy site, heading there now!

They dont come out often and ,you cant touch them alot, and they require alot of humidity, most is wild farm raised , i have 2 pair thats wils farm raised and trying to breed them for a captive bred
When i got my croc skink and brought it home the first time, and held it, it was stiff like a board 💀 . But after a few min setting it in the enclosure, and came back to it, it was hiding behind a piece of wood already
My skink is with me since 2021 April, he is maybe 2 years old nearly. He was sheding 3 weeks ago, and after he don't eat anything. I try every day but he don't eats. In the sping and summer he was eating great. My care is the same as before. What is the problem maybe the winter or what? I am very fustrated. Thank you.
Hello! I have got a problem with my gracilis. He don't eats since 2-3 weeks. I try every day, but not. In the terrarium is 22 Celsius, the humidity is 80%. He is active, but I'am fustrated. He is 1,5 years old. He goes dorment or what is the problem? Please help! Thank you!
Thank u for that great video ..now I want one lol p.s. what about UVB LITES? THEY NEED THEM?
@ellesreptiles
2 жыл бұрын
They don't really need them (since they rarely come out) as long as you're supplementing their food properly. But I give mine a UVB light anyway, just in case. If you got a skink that was active in the day, I would definitely give them one. 😊

I'm late to the party but I'm still searching for which one. Like where is the geico gecko at because that's what I want basic dark green colored no patterns
How old should my Crocodile kink be when I get. Him
Are White-Eyed and Red-Eyed Crocodile Skinks basically the same animal with just different pigment around the eyes?
Hey! I have a quick question. I am going to go bioactive in my enclosure, and I need to know is it safe to put the isopods from my yard in the tank. Just would like to hear your opinion.😇
@rosec5629

I can’t speak to the reptile aspect, but I know that isopods from nature can bring disease, if you create a separate enclosure for them you can breed the problems out and use those
