i got this little(well not so little) guy on thursday. he has been sulking since i got him home not eating or wanting to come out in the open, but i tricked him into coming out 2nite by offering him some snails.

he's definately a chunky guy then. looking healthy and alert. I will admit skinks aren't in my top favorite lizards but I certainly do like this chap

he is called Bob but my other halfs 13 year old daughter has renamed him Frank
alert is an under statment if i walk into the room and dont say hello to him he pops his head over the edge of the viv and stares at me until i go over and talk to him.
as for fav lizard they aint mine really but i have fallen in love with him he has such a funny charactor and is proper nosey.

he has learnt a new trick already.
if he can't see me from his viv he stands on top of his hide and looks over the edge of the viv this gives him another 5 to 6 inchs.
but once i get up of the bed or out of my chair he skuttles of to the other side of his viv and pretends he's asleep.
Clever and very cheeky

na still not eating , but i have been told that blues get attached to owners and can take a couple of weeks before they relax enough to take to a new person, other than that he is very alert, and as paul said he is a chunky guy so there is no chance of him starving to death with all the extra skin he is carrying
