DgG7 Jan 17, 2006 07:29 PM

My blue tongue skink usualy loves to eat, and i know as they get older they tend to eat less. But my bts hasnt eatten for two weeks, ive tried different things for her to eat but all she does is crawl around and drink water??Any suggestions?? And i have also changed the temperature to a higher bulb, but still nothing??

Perhaps she's constipated? Try soaking her in some warm water for a while.
Or, check her undersides. If they are grayish-white, it means she's gonna shed soon. Mine always refuses to eat when its shedding time.

ive already soaked my bts in warm water, and she had finished shedding weeks ago, so she probably is having issues goin to the bathroom. But she hasnt eatten for two weeks but last night i think she finaly ate one cricket, but im not sure.
