Hi JackAsp, I have a Eugongylus albofasciolatus too. He does not shake his food, but I noticed that he does have a higher prey drive than my Schneider's skinks or my Egernia striolata. He goes after the superworms vigorously and clamps down with a vengeance when he eats them. My Schneider's are more delicate and shake the prey lightly just to stun them a little to subdue the squirming. Also when I'm feeding them by hand if the Schneiders accidently bite me it is very light, but the sheen skink clamps hard.
