Your Questions Answered
What size enclosure does a baby skink need?
Start with a 40-gallon breeder tank for a juvenile. An adult will require a minimum enclosure of 4'x2'x2' (120 gallons). Provide a secure lid, a basking area, UVB lighting, and appropriate humidity hides.
How is the temperament for handling?
Northern Blue Tongues are known for their calm disposition. This captive-bred baby is already accustomed to human presence. With gentle, consistent handling, it will become a very tractable pet. Allow a 7-10 day acclimation period with minimal handling upon arrival.
What do you feed them?
We recommend a staple of high-quality, grain-free canned dog food (like Ziwi Peak) mixed with Repashy Bluey Buffet. Supplement with gut-loaded insects (like dubia roaches) and fresh vegetables like squash and leafy greens. Variety is key to nutrition.
