Found one of these guys at a local pet store while looking for snails. As much as I hate supporting pet store chains I just had to have her. She's in a much better setup now and prefers to be called Mango. Absolutely gorgeous

I’m glad you said that.... Just got 1 and I haven’t seen him in 3 days, he’s definitely alive I’ve seen movement. But thanks for your comment. I’ve only had yellow belly skinks before. But I’ve got 3 chams and 2 leopard geckos 🦎

I love my little fire skink. I don't see her often but I know when it's hungry cause the little poop comes flying out of its hiding spot looking for some grub.

Do the juveniles tend to have same patterns or markings as each parent. Does the color shades and how much red on the body and intensity ever vary with the juveniles. I notice this with Tegus" fav". Reason I ask is I see from one individuals Fire Skink versus someone else's. Some just gorgeous and others just lacking. Considering getting one for awhile , I just can't find a really nice one with rich blacks and a lot of rich red. Good video. I enjoyed it

@tonyflamingosucks65904 жыл бұрын
Andie Toth captive bred fire skinks are very cheap because the breeders have to compete with wild caught sellers, so from what I’ve seen I’d say in the range of $40-$60

Hi, how does 'double clutch' work? We found our pair had 6 eggs... 2 hatched December 2019, and the other 4, a month later. We were trying to work out how that happened. We saw our pair mating 29 days ago, and the girl is looking fat, so we're expecting another clutch any time.. and want to be prepared if the same happens again 😃

I was quite excited to watch this video since I recently acquired a pair of these amazing animals. However, I was confused when some information in your video and the information in the link you provided contradicted each other. for example the video says they need 5 to 10 cm of substrate while the link states a minimum of 15 cm. Also, the video says they do not need UVB as long as food items are dusted with calcium and vitamin supplements, while the link states that they need UVB to process calcium. I am hoping for some clarification so that I can provide the best environment and husbandry for my animals. I did learn from your video that I was keeping their enclosure entirely too hot, and I am grateful for the more accurate information. I really enjoyed your video and especially enjoyed watching the hatchlings. Cheers.

Like you, I kept my 2yo female's tank too hot from some good ol' misinformation. I keep the temp gradient around 90 for basking and 70 on the cool side. I calcium dust every third feeding and use a UVB bulb with the basking light with the basking bulb on a dimmer. I used to use a UTH but I've found it's largely unnecessary

Dear Ultimate Exotics Reptiles. What insect can we use as a cleanup crew in a bioactive terrarium for fire skinks (since they also have a warm and humid tropical style terrarium)? Springtails? Or isopods? Or larger milipedes? Or will adult fire skinks just decimate isopods and milipedes? Could springtails work? Or trying to add any kind of insect cleanup crew to a fire skink "lair" is just a bad idea? Can insect cleanup-crews hurt skinks after they have just shedded?

Ethan Berg it depends. A 20-40 gallon is best. But u can do a 10-15 gallon as the dimensions of the floor surface are about the same as a 20 long. As long as u have 6+ inches of substrate for borrowing. They don’t need uvb if u use d3

I dislike the chore of a water dish , so , i go with filtered ponds Take 2 dollar store plastic shoeboxes One to hold the place in the just as deep substrate And one you can frain and slip out to clean A small submersable filter or the dribble mouth turtle pond type of filter keeps it healthy Rest of enclosure filled with substrate and decor Low maintenance
