    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I bought a Schneider skink a couple days ago and he refuses to eat. What should I do?
 
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.
