heres my group of pink tongues enjoying a bit of dog food, don't worry it is a low protein variety and only given every now and then as a treat. Very Happy

Very nice - I've always liked pink tongues - I don't think they get the popularity they deserve.

Cheers,
Mark.

Pink tongues are great!, I really like them. he's a bit shocked right now, he broke his toes of 1 foot last weekend.

What do you feed your skinks ?
I feed mine most of the time snails, if I can find them I feed him living snails.
And I got a special recipe for skink food. A dutch breeder gave it to me. And he really really likes it.

If I can find it I will post it.

i keep mine in a 48" aquarium, as a wooden viv would not stand up to the high humidity they need. i use a deep layer of bark chips as substrate with a few cork bark hides and some artificial plants for decoration.
