Notes

Blue Tongued Skink Info
1.Eats dark greens and most fruits, also eats canned cat food and most basic human foods
Blue tongues are omnivorous, which means they eat both meat and vegetables. About 60% of an adult’s diet should be made up of plant matter, the remaining percentage being protein. Feed as much as your skink will eat, the majority being vegetation and fruit, they seldom over-eat.
VEGETABLES: Dark leafy vegetables such as collard and mustard greens, kale and red tip leaf lettuce are good for a dragon, as are alfalfa pellets, clover, parsley, and broccoli, green beans, peas, squash, grated carrots and sweet potatoes. Spinach and iceberg lettuce should never be fed. Remember to wash vegetables thoroughly, then cut or shred to make it easier to ingest. Remove any uneaten vegetables before turning the lights off at night.
FRUIT: Blue tongue skinks seem to love berries and fruit. Be sure to offer a good amount as often as possible. Fruits such as figs, kiwi, apples, raspberries, strawberries and melons can be fed.
PROTEIN: Protein sources such as: gut-loaded crickets, mealworms, cockroaches, kingworms, wax worms and pinkie mice dusted with a supplement should also be part of their diet. Wild caught insects should never be fed, since they can carry disease. All insects should be gut loaded (fed a nutritious diet about 24-hours before being offered to your skink - see our cricket care sheet). Be careful to feed the proper size prey for your skink’s size. A good rule of thumb is that a cricket should be never be larger than the distance between the lizard's eyes, or the distance from its eyes to its nose. When feeding larger insects to your pet, try to make sure the insects have recently molted, as an insect with a large, hard exoskeleton is difficult to digest and may cause impactions.

2. Loves being handled and pet on forehead and chin

3.18-20 in (average)

4.Reptiles are ectothermic, or cold-blooded, which means they are dependent on the temperature of their immediate environment to regulate their body temperature. Therefore, we must create an environment with several heat gradients - warm on one end and cool on the other. With this set-up, your pet can go to either end depending on whether he needs to be warmer or cooler.

5.(will need basic reptile kit i talked about)

6. Average lifespan is 10-20 years

7.We recommend a shredded aspen bedding since it will not cause impactions in the skink if it is ingested by mistake and it is easy to clean
The downside is that I can't find a exact age online although most are around 150-200 $ (plus tank average would be around 290 or 300 $)
