Hand fed Cheakie again, this time took cricket from between by my finger tips and a meal worm off my open up turned hand and let me tickle her under the chin.
Hand fed Cheakie several mealworms by hand today and had another handsurfing session , Cheakie is definitely fatter than Fluffy , and I suspect pregnant ( I could see the baby bumps clearly ).
I think Cheakie likes me and trusts me.
Meanwhile the little juvenile has been hanging out on top of the lounge , watching and studying , very curious about hooman - skink interaction , but finally managed to slip 4 mealworms to it when it came up to me on the floor in a spot that was outside Cheakie's line of sight later this after ( cleavor little skinky , it knew I was giving food and worked out where to go have a chance of getting some with out Cheakie robbing it worms off it ).
Think Jr ( I'll call it junior for now ) would be lucky to be 8g all up , is more tail than anything else , but is old enough to be developed past the skink baby stage and be nearly adult in appearance ( only in miniature )
Had a siesta about 6pm on the lounge before diner and was woken by something trying to eat my little left pinky ( hand on lounge next to me ) .... you guessed it , Cheakie was daintily biting on the end of the finger .... " Waky waky lazy hooman, I'm hungry , feed me " .
Cheakie hung out with me all afternoon til about dust ( she's a real character and sure has some smarts too ).
Fluffy was interested in her and Jr too , she was watching from her tank most the afternoon , and even headnodded back at Cheakie .
