FOR BLUE TONGUE CARE INFORMATION, PLEASE GO TO www.bluetongueskinks.net **YES! Substrate for burrowing is in the rest of the tank! This is a very small portion of the tank where his water dish went and the repticarpet was an attempt to keep him from dragging debris into it. PLEASE no more comments about this.** This is Ping, born 5/18/07. Many people think reptiles are ugly, aggressive, boring, and slimy. He is beautiful, completely tame, curious, and a wonderful friend. SOME ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS: SUBSTRATE: Cypess mulch. Holds humidity well, resists mold, absorbent. Other keepers use aspen shavings and coconut fiber with success. Avoid Carefresh (too dry in most climates), ReptiBark (not absorbent, not so good for burrowing), pine or cedar shavings (aromatic oils). TANK SIZE: Riley - 36x18. Ping - 48x18. Riley is small and not very active so the tank works for him right now, but I would not recommend that size for an adult all of its life. 48x18 is pretty good but may end up feeling small for larger or more active skinks. I plan to upgrade both to 6' enclosures this year! FOOD: Blue tongues are omnivores. Mine enjoy many foods. F/T mice, snails, silkworms, roaches, Wellness or Spot's Stew brand canned pet food, all sorts of squashes (summer and winter), collards, kale, mustard greens, dandelion greens, green beans, okra, mushroom, parsnip, snap peas, all sorts of berries, apple, other fruits as a treat. Repcal Green Label calcium (without D3 added) and Herptivite ...
