[stantheman1996]

hi i recently bought a blue tongue skink it is 7 months old and ive had him for 3 days and all he does is hide is this normal?

[TheGuitarist4181]

@stantheman1996 for the first month that is very normal

[pengupuff]

aboot

[OveralledPlumber]

your lizard is a chill dude

[grx20jb]

It looks kind of like you have a UVB light shining through glass. I thought that shining the light through glass ruined the UVB?

[IchigoTora89]

@grx20jb

Yea, it does. Glass gets rid of the uvb almost completely.

[NickNoRtHeRnLiGhTs]

i have a similar set up but use repti bark. is that good?

[jbkgjbkg]

What kind of plants do you use in there? =)

[jbkgjbkg]

What kind of plant do you use in there? Soon to be moving my bluetongue into a larger tank and I need som plants =)

[ILoveHugs02]

You have nice skin, haha.  Cute skink. :) Very helpful.

[inf0man1]

The hide is real cool!! Cool skink too. It looks awesome. Great video.

[jtrain12496]

[jscott1996]

[TheVideoMastr]

[Keanu181881]

PLEASE HELP! i just got my blue tongue lizard yesterday and it is barely moving! is it sick? is it going to die? PLEASE ANSWER!

[MrLizardKing1997]

Ummmmm?? lol good vid

[urboymiggz]

would a 30 gal tank be good enough for an adult blue tongue?

[DeptulaRacing]

@urboymiggz a 30 long would probably be fine...but not a normal 30

[Polska675]

uummmm......

[VoragoTitan]

cool enclosure! your skink looks awesome too :)

[411iPodtouch]

UM?

[greendayhieu]

is ur skink an adult?

[chachadogdemon]

@dobo1005 30!? holy shit thats awesome

[comegetsome123456789]

if u want to hold them and he is in the underground tunnel wut do u do

[ArachnidFanatic]

Patience ... keep the tunnel a place of safty and wait till its out so that it has a place to go when it feels scared or threatend this will reduce stress

[rcplane56]

wait till it comes out

[LIBluvsANIMALS]

what size tank is that? 30 gallon? 40 gallon? 50 gallon?

[samwhich99]

if u pause right at the beginning it looks like u saw a ghost lol

anyways your enclosure looks awsome

[DaymHooker]

LOL ahahaha ghost.

[JCG1243]

Hey! Sloopies you no what... I think that enclosure is 9/10. Like that underground cave that looks sweet!

[GreenSpyro7]

How much does it cost altogether?

[ace5550]

nice:]

[Aughal]

you look confused lol

[Musthaveya123]

how many lizards or gecko's do you have? like are they gecko's or do you have any other lizards?

i have to leopard gecko's.

[evanjohnston123]

is ur tank 40 gallons if it is is it big enough bcus i hope 2 get 1

[mrbluetongue]

12 bricks??? i doubt it

[TheyAreLeopardGeckos]

theres different size bricks

[pbdude725]

small bricks probly

[pa1ntb411a]

ey you should get a bigger water bowl they love bathing

[iknowadog]

i subbed and great skink. i have a sudan yellow throated plated skink.

[huwjun]

that guy playing guitar is sooo annoying lol

[xpullmystringsx]

Is there a strong, offensive smell when Blue Tongues defecate? I ask because I currently have several species of gecko, and they have little to no smell. Thanks.

[realityexplorations]

no blue tongues poo dont smell bad

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

gretch guitar haha.

in 3 weeks im gonna be getting a BTS from someone who is moving and can no longer have it. I CANT BELIEVE YOU HAVE 12 BRICKS OF ECO EARTH IN THERE!!!! for me, 1 brick is enough for my 20 gal tank of tiger salamanders hahaha. the bricks you got cant be the same size because 12 of mine would fill up like 80 gallons of tank.

so anyways thats a nice lookin setup you have there and a pretty good video. i like how he's playin like theme music in the background haha

[Sloopies]

haha wow you could tell the guitar from that? haha yep thats a gretsch. It is basically my child

There are only that many brick because as they dry out and get trampled on all day they seem to dwindle down

good luck with your new skink

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

yeah, i know guitars fairly well i think.

i see what you mean about them shrinking, the skink setup is hot and dry whereas my salamander setup has to be cool and very moist. that stuff shrinks as it dries so that explains it.

happy herping

[reptiworld]

is that bite thing on ur hand real? whats it from?

nice vid man

[Sloopies]

its a drawing haha

[reptiworld]

oooooooohhhh it looked kinda............ err fake?

[PinkFuzz7]

cool

[palleruuslarsen1]

hey i am getting my BTS on friday and i am getting everything i need for a good enclosure i already got a 66 gallon and alot of bark on the ground i am getting a red 100watt light at the 1 end of it and i already got a UV light is there anything else i should get? beside water dish

[Sloopies]

Congrats!

I would just make sure that your new skink has a hide on each end of the tank, a thermometer of any kind (infrared is better), and calcium powder

Good luck

[palleruuslarsen1]

i got a hide i got an electric heating rock and a big piece of bark that my berberskink loves and theres between 37-40 C in hot end and in coldest 26-30 c

[Sloopies]

heating rocks can have some big problems, but some people use them without a problem. I don't know why you would risk it though. Other then that temps sound great.

[palleruuslarsen1]

problems in what way? my berberskink loves it and never had any problems sleeps, eats and sun baths on it

[Sloopies]

I've just heard of them overheating. If you haven't had any problems thus far I wouldn't worry about it.

[palleruuslarsen1]

yaya just got her today she is so beautiful right now shes sleeping shes been shipped since yesterday and all the night so shes tired and confused :)

[Sloopies]

haha congrats

[BaileyShaeDavidson]

i love how zach it just sitting their doing his thing in the background hahahaha!!

[Sloopies]

well if it isn't Bailey Shae Davidson

[shreadsguitar14]

dude your skink wouldnt like that

blue tongues love to bury themselves

i have 4 blueys and they all bury them self in the leaves

you should also have a bark hide spot

that is a cool hide spot but he would like it that much at all

[Sloopies]

My skink buries in the dirt all of the time, that is a bark hide, and I have no idea what that last part meant...

[antti238]

hey is that Light-timer thingy a must have?

i have been thinking bout getting one of these guys :D (bluetongue)

[Sloopies]

no not a 'must-have' but for twenty bucks it makes my life ALOT easier haha. you should definitely get one

[fatcatsaysmoo]

Lol your friend was annoying with the guitar >.> Cool, what is his basking temperature? I want one, but my house is around 60-70 degrees year round, and I don't know to get the 100 watt or 160 watt powersun bulb from zoomed...don't wanna test it myself, bulbs are $37 O.O

[ZephyrEcho]

I like your cave idea. Having a sand tank it's difficult to set up here D;

Check out my tank

[KrazyReptiles]

SICK!

[ryanntx]

cool cave

[yewherper]

hey, i was just wondering if i could put a baby blue tongue in a 3ft tank or not.

[fishyfan95]

you should be fine it could stay there for life depeniding on how wide it was

[reptilekid006]

what is that hide thing in the dirt, cuz it looks like PVC or something. If not, could some1 tell me what kind of hide it is?

[Sloopies]

It is one of those fake bark hides.

[JoelTheGreat011]

Lol "to have a blue tounge skink setup you Got to have a blue tounge skink in there"

[herperjosh]

can i use culcium inreched sand for these guys becuse the pet shop guy said hes been using the stuff for 3 years with out a problem its the exo terra dessert sand

[krazylacrosse19]

sand is the worst substrate to use. It has a very high chance of killing your pet of impaction. Its really not worth the risk.

[UsuckieMYwoodie]

ive heard from both sides. ive heard that calcium sand is digestable but i also heard that it can cause impaction. idk if thats only for leopard geckos or not but i just wouldnt take the risk

[herperjosh]

yeah all i hear about is leos and beardies getting impacted and a few type of snake i cant finde a lizard besides leos and beardies that have been impacted but im going to feed him out of the cage untill i replace the sand just dont whant to get rid of the sand becuase it costed $80

[1029163]

a much cheaper and better way u can go is use child safe playsand. its like $3 and its much safer than calcium

[Snyds911]

I've heard that's true, if anyone wants my input. Playsand is good. But what I really think is that leos will get impacted on anything. If you really want to be safe, why not just use something like eco earth, or even paper towels? (Towels are for babies only, I would never do that for adults.) Also I would just use what you have always used, there's no point in switching if you've been successful with it just because other people haven't. That goes the same with both sides. =)

[iG587]

Very cool looking skink and pretty clean looking enclosure. =)

[xPoptartt]

What kind of skink?

[Sloopies]

irian jaya blue tongue skink...

[xPoptartt]

Ah yeah. I just looked at the other videos. Sorry. Very handsome skink. :]

[r3xc]

it needs a skink ? lol , Good vid

[wildstar1]

Skinks are so cool, nice setup!
