Tank The Blue Tongue Skink

[Gungirl]

So I figured I would make a profile page for Tank that I will keep updated. I was told that tank is 3 months old but I have no paper work or anything on him. I will have some pictures of his home in 2-3 days maybe sooner. I ordered his CHE and UV-b last night so once those come in he will be set up in the larger enclosure. I am going to get some stone from my supplies in the basement and build him a basking platform just not to sure on how I want to secure them together. ( silicon maybe? ) For now here are some Pictures of Tank eating this morning.

Nice pics!!

[BarelyBreathing]

Tank is definitely a great name for a bluey. And holy cow, we have the same plates!

[Gungirl]

Thanks Guys..

Lol.. That is the only set I will use for random things. I love cheep plates because I break a lot of them!

[BarelyBreathing]

So do we. We have so many sets of of plates that have just one or two left over now.

Edit: In fact, that set only has three plates and two bowls.

Tank is so cute.

[Little Wise Owl]

Very cute :) My little one refuses to eat in front of me... Or at all.

[Gungirl]

He loves food... I am lucky that is not an issue. He will eat while I am holding him or anywhere I put him.

[Little Wise Owl]

Both my BTS and Tegu are reluctant eaters... It's enough to pull out your hair over. lol

[Gungirl]

That would drive me nuts..

[SpOoKy]

He is very cute! Congratulations, I know you have been wanting him for a while now :)

[Gungirl]

Thanks Spooky! I am working on his basking platform now and hopefully his CHE and UV-b light will come via FedEx today. I really want him in the bigger/better set up.

Oh and just want to double check what I am doing.. how often should he be eating?

[shaunyboy]

very cute :D

cheers shaun

So cute! Blues are just great animals. I love their personalities. Love the colors in Tank! Congrats! :)

[Gungirl]

So I have been working on a basking platform for Tank. I just have to let the glue dry and then I will be coating it with a few thin layers of grout and a few coats of sealer.

[BarelyBreathing]

Cool! If you use grout it will look uber realistic.

[Gungirl]

I am hopeful that it does.

[BarelyBreathing]

I can't wait to see it.

[Gungirl]

Tomorrow I will take more pics.. I need to do more before it looks good.

[Gungirl]

So I am still in the process of working on Tanks home made basking platform. I added more color and need to seal it. As for now he is in his permanent home but with other decor. I am really happy with how it looks all set up and he seems to be enjoying it.
