Notes On Feeding
Be sure to shred or finely chop vegetables prior to feeding.
When feeding canned dog or cat food, read the nutritional information on the can. Choose a food that doesn't have any by-products. Meat mixed with vegetables is best.
Never leave uneaten live prey in your skinks tank overnight. They will crawl on and possible bite your skink, possibly even causing injury.
Always keep a large water bowl with fresh water in the tank.
