A few years ago I rehomed a Pink Tongued Skink. He had been bumped from home to home through Kijiji and probably was a wild caught lizard. They live on a diet of snails so they don't work as a pet. It is hard to find anything they will eat. I have a big tank with a collection of different skinks so I had a place he could be comfortable.
He made himself at home and curled up to sleep.
It wasn't easy, but I found he would eat powdered gecko mix and frozen blood worms. He seemed to like the mix and he did well. He even formed a bond with my Berber Skink Tarragon.
You can see they enjoyed a good meal together.
They were a bit of an odd couple, but as skinks go they had similarities.
Sadly Tarragon died last year and I think Spencer really missed her.
He was possibly really old and these past months I have noticed him failing.
This is Spencer when I first brought him home and that is how I want to remember him.
He was a magnificent lizard and now he has joined his beloved Tarragon.
I wish them well. It was a privilege to have had them live with me.
I miss them both.
