Hello. I'm new to fire skinks (I currently have two beardies, a leopard gecko, and the fire skink) and I have a few questions on set up and other things. Quick background on Venser. He's peen at the Petco where I bought Jace since early December and we just bought him for 75% off since he had been there too long (paid $12.50). It was a rushed purchase, but I knew I would want to put the time and effort into learning how to take care of him where other people might not. This is a pic of him and a pic of his viv (we're guessing he's a he).
Info:
-Viv is 20 long
-4" of Eco-Earth and Sphagnum moss
-2 hides
-1 water dish not filled too much
-heat pad
-cage temp 88 degrees
-misted multiple times a day
Questions:
1. We got Venser April 10th. He's eaten since then maybe 9 phoenix worms and 2 crickets. Is this due relocation stress?
2. Haven't found any poop yet, hard to tell with all the dirt. Should I be worried?
3. How should I start to handle him? He's very squirmy and slides right through my grip. I don't want to lose him in the house.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!
