With summer only a week away, the ambient air temperature has had a significant impact on the activity of my pink tongue skinks. I’ve developed a routine, where I come home from work around 2pm (I go to work at 4am, just so no one thinks I have some incredible job that lets me [...]
Welcome to my Pink Tongue Skink information website. I have written a fairly comprehensive caresheet based on my experiences and plan to make frequent blog posts detailing my progress working with these wonderful reptiles!

Now I personally wouldn’t even feed my Dog or Cat the foods that have come so highly recommended for Reptile food (i.e. Whiskas, Fancy Feast, etc) so why would I consider them for Pink Tongue Skinks?!
However, I do have a commercial food that I highly recommend- Wellness Core Dog and Cat Food (preferably the reduced fat Dog food). This is a protein based dry food with a fairly decent ratio of ingredients. What I do is moisten it with beef broth (because my skinks like the scent of beef) and leave a tray of food in the tank for no more than 24 hours.
My skinks love it and it makes a wonderful addition to the diet of my Pink Tongue Skinks.
Welcome to my Pink Tongue Skink website!
In the future I hope to share my experience with care in the form of a caresheet plus frequent blogs with updates on the status of my skinks.
