For some time, it has been common advice to feed the cheapest commercial dog/cat food to Pink Tongue Skinks.   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.
