update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/02 03:06 Gojira is doing really well so far. At first he wouldnt eat the greens or the crickets, I talked to the owner of the pet store and he gave me some meal worms for free and he took right to it. I've also found out what size mice he can eat.
The mite problem that showed up the day after i got him has been gone for a little while and hes enjoying his new setup.
He had a good shed today. I made sure to get the paws real good, and I also noticed a pretty large turd in his den. Not sure how big their poop is really supposed to get. I'm assuming its from the mice.
I'm also building a slightly bigger enclouser for him. The width on his tank is only like 12 inches so I figured some thing a little wider and longer. I'm pretty much taking one enclouser and cutting it in half and changing it abit. So shouldnt be too long before its all put together. Thats about it for now.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/05 06:46 Thank you! Not sure if its a male or female. Not sure how to sex em really. lol. I'm guessing its a guy at the moment. Hes in a 50 gallon right now but I'm about to set up some thing abit bigger. The width of the tank hes in right now is only 12 and a half and I think its looks kinda small so I've got something else lined up for him. Already got all the lights and gauges and stuff so Its almost set. I'll post pictures when I get it all done.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/07 00:22 I hear you...I have a crestie that is very stubborn eating what I would like him too...funny how they tell us what they want to eat and we don't get to tell them what to eat...I get to cheat though and trick mine to eating a highly recommended food at least five times a week...though he still refuses to touch it on his own...ughhh!

Good luck with the cutting work...I kind of like making things for my babies...it is fun and don't mind the busy part. I only ran into trouble with one DIY project, I have to start over...just being lazy and have not started collecting the materials yet.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/09 03:32 got part of it done. Pretty much just a big box right now. Gotta add the floor, sides and top. I need to go and buy wood tomorrow after my classes are over.

And once again he has mites!!! Not sure how he got them. I'm thinking I didnt get all of them last time, maybe I missed some under his scales. I've sprayed him with the reptile relief stuff, so hopefully that helps get rid of some of them untill tomorrow. I need to get his new home done so I can just clean him and have a new setup ready and clean.Busy busy busy again.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/09 05:35 Have you tried feeding cat food? I buy Wellness brand cat food and I mix it with chopped up greens and my BTS happily eats the mix. I also offer boiled chicken chopped and mixed with the veggies...I think the key to veggies is mixing so they are all mixed up with something yummier. Mine seems to like cactus quite well but the rest of the veggies pretty much get eaten along with a meat course. My skinks favorite foods however are fruits...have you tried those? Gator loves blueberries the best but cantalope and banana are up there as well...strawberries were vieweed with discust-LOL!

With all that said, I can't for the life of me get either of my bearded dragons to eat veggies so I am far from the veggie expert but the mixing does work great for the skink.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/09 18:55 I'll have to try some of that. I havent even given him any cooked meats yet. So far its been super worms and mice. I make sure to dust his food so he gets everything else. I'd still like him to eat his greens. I'll give it a shot and see if he takes to it better.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/09 23:44 he looks good shu .

i dont blame some lizards for not liking greens lol,have you ever tried turnip greens or kale?it taste horrible to me..

maybe if you put some blue berrys,or grapes on top of the greens he might get interested in them?im not sure if they can eat blue berrys or grapes every once in awhile i give them to the iguana though,she loves them.

Re:update on the blue tongue skink-gojira - 2010/02/10 06:40 His enclosure is coming along slowly. Going to get the wood and the other saw tomorrow morning. Hoping to get as much as I can get done tomorrow before my aikido class. Gotta get rid of the mites before he can even move into it so I got a little while. I wanna make sure their gone before I move him into some thing bigger.

I'm also thinking about using this jungle earth mix on one side and this care fresh stuff on the cooler side. Figured it might be nice to have some other stuff to hide in. I'll take some pictures tomorrow of what I have done.
