He is either full or near full adult. I only have one skink currently. He is nice and fat yet pretty firm and solid. I'll look into taking some pictures later but too lazy now LOL! He's definitely not skinny or malnourished or anything. I do know you don't feed every day. I was feeding every other day.

I notice that he doesn't want to eat out of the "bowl", but when I accidentally dropped onto the substrate when trying to feed him with tongs, he would want to eat it from the substrate. I of course don't want that as I don't want him to eat substrate. It's not a high bowl, just a low tray with maybe 1.5cm raised sides, like those that they use for land tortoises water dish, or bottom of flower pots. I also tried a tile but he would push all the food into the substrate. I don't want him to accidentally eat any substrate so maybe I should switch back to newspaper and instead give him hides to "burrow" in instead?
