    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 just got a schnieder's skink and am looking for more info on their care. He is very sweet and loves to crawl around on me. He will even eat out of my hand. What are some good sites to check out? Any other info on their care would be great to. I have the bedding and heat setup, so that parts good, im just looking to find out more. One main question I have is how often should I feed him? I have been feeding him crickets. I tried giving him some mealworms but he doesn't like them.
 
Hey I was told to feed mine two crickets every other day and thats what she ate while she was in the rep shop but they were also in the smallest tanks now that i have them in a 20+ gallon tank they seem to have much more of an appetite I still only feed them every other day. The one thing you should know is that they do not need to have water put out for them. They only really drink when they are shedding or breeding they get enough water from the crickets and fruits and veggies. I keep a large dish of water in my tank because my male likes to splash around in it.
My best advice for you as a new owner to skinks is do what I do hit the library or google schneiders skinks and read up as much as you can. Since your skinks will have their own personalities you can't follow what you read you have to spend time with them and watch and see what they like. Enjoy!
