I think this guy is going to do just fine now. The father is a wild caught Brewster county, and the mother is a generic.

He had 5 siblings that all ate pinks right out of the egg. Last year, out of two unrelated clutches, all ate pinks straight out of the egg. Two years ago, I had 7 hatchings, none of which, would take pinks.

Nice looking celaenops. It can take a while for them to come around to accepting domestic mouse (Mus musculus) pinkies as food. If your neonates are refusing skinks at times, you may look into either spiny lizards (Sceloporus) or house geckos (Hemidactylus) for scenting.
