emaytiti Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 . What is the dep do you have them at ??? with the heat of homes at the moment you shold have very little heat in the day time and a little heat at night at one end so if they get cold can sit under it ... Room temp with basking bulb. Room temp is about 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emaytiti Posted November 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 :facepalm: What would you say this is LA? Separated them all now, new two are divided off. Don't know what to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 May have to stay separated. If it is a female that is getting beaten up on then she is either pregnant already (so marswel separate her anyway) and very stressed or simply not ready.. or male . 3 years old is probably a better age to start attempting to breed them. Feed em up, supervise them when putting them near each other. 10 mins a week is probably more than enough for breeding to occur. They will do so when the time is right.

Insect Direct Posted November 2, 2011 Report Share Posted November 2, 2011 bigger enclosures are great, even just a pen for day time sun. dont use mesh, make walls solid, at least the first foot or two. then see how they run. for such a sluggish looking skink, the majority of the time, they can really move looks funny too with their stumpy little legs.

herperjosh Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Tanks a bit to small for 2 skinks. Need to get A bigger one. I think they are to males by the looks of it. Mabey its the change of enviroment that tirggered the fighting mabey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 males can be rather territorial. i kept two together in the past in a large eclosure wth only one hide. some nights both would be in there, but about 3-4nights a week one skink would sleep on top of the hide. and often a different skink from one night to the next. was like first to get in the hide ruled the roost for the night lol also notice that if putting a skink (possibly just males?) into a new enclosure, especially one that has had/has a skink in, one of the first things they like to do is rub there scent on the entry to the hide. fascinating little sausages.

Lol it sounds like they have got a bunk bed system going on. Yeah i always find when you put a bluey into a new cage- enviroment they rub against everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emaytiti Posted November 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 enclosure waaaaay to small for 2, is there anyway you can get them outside in a bigger enclosure? Looking around for rabbit hutches at the moment. Been trying to think of a way to build something, but my building skills are useless when it comes to cage building :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
