Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

This type of skink requires a basking spot of 104-130.
I would ditch the aspen and use sand only.
Try crickets
If a lizard isn't warm enough, it will not eat. Adjust the temps and it should start eating.

Hi there....if you Google it,several different forums and care sheets mention a temp. gradient of 80 -100, and also mention several inches of playsand to dig in. Several owners also mention that it is not unusual for them to have erratic eating patterns.....eating a few days, then not eating for a few days or a week, especially during times of stress such as when they are newly acquired. So that seems to be the norm, and you don't need to worry too much if the skink doesn't eat for a few days or so.
