I used to breed scarlet kings.
It would concern me that a wild caught specimen had mouth rot.
hopefully it just got some substrate in its mouth and not any indication of underlying immune deficiency.
I would keep it in strict isolation from the rest of your collection.
ground skinks are like crack to elapsoides. they will eat them live, dead, F/T ground up....it doesn't matter....if you have larger skinks, freeze one and use it to scent pinks....most will take appropriately sized anole and they LOVE anole eggs.
housing them in shoe box size rubbermaids works well but they are the best escape artists so there must be no clearance if in a rack....better yet just use the tops and put weights on them,,,,the black morph below escaped after being housed in a neonate tub rack for three years. I never found him,,,,he was the cornerstone of my black morph project...they will escape if given the chance,,,,norm,
