Alright! So I've been trying some new insects for my beardie Gabriel, and I was just wondering, can my fire skink, Ruby, eat superworms and/or phoenix worms? And if so, is there a size restriction (mostly for superworms, since they're bigger)?

I'm figuring the answer is probably yes, but I really just want to double check before I give her anything!

Hi there, Is Ruby an adult ? If so, you can feed full sized superworms. :) Fireskinks love most bugs, and can even gobble down a full sized nightcrawler [ slamming it around before eating it ] Just don't give too many at once. The most my guy Blaze gets is 3 at a time, but usually 2 is what I give him.

can you tell us how much your fire skink weighs ?

Photo it in your hand or next to ruler so we can gauge his dimensions.

I'm sure we'll be able to work out suitable size feeders for him, I'm assuming the fire skink is something similar in size to an adult eastern water skink or a juvenile eastern or northern BTS.

This thread is a year old. The skink would be either full sized or pretty near full sized. :)
Is this the one that laid eggs already ?

Hey! Yeah, I'm not sure how thread got necro'd :lol: I don't even remember posting it.

Unfortunately, Ruby passed away a couple months ago. No one is really sure why. Could have just been age, but her age was unknown so we're not sure.

She was full-sized, though! A little small, but I always suspected her growth was stunted as she clearly did not come from a household that had taken care of her. As to eggs, Ruby never did that, so not mine!

Also, to anyone else that sees this, this thread should really be locked, there's no need to answer! It's a very old thread. Please don't continue it.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
