got my bluey!!!!
I recieved my Indonesian blue tongue skink today 
He is already eating his leafy greens and a 2 tiny slices of strawberries,which he picked out of the dish first
He is 8 inches and sooooo perrty and is also captive bred and born And I have him in a 20 gallon.
He hisses when I touch him right now, is it just stress?
How do I tame him better?
I will have a pic tommorow.......I promise

He's a cutie! Yes, he will calm down nicely most likely. Blue tongues are almost always tame and docile. They like to hiss when they feel threatened, just pet him gently every day and when he feels a little more comfortable in his surroundings and with you then you can begin to handle him. Cute little bugger. Mine's so big, I want a little baby....

What a cutie!!! Are you giving him time to acclimate and de-stress before handling him? I'd give him at least a couple of weeks of no touching to let him relax before handling him.... at least, that's what I've done with all of my reptiles and it usually helps!
Good luck with him!

I only rubbed his back when I opened his container, I put him right into his cage after that.

I got him from Henry Piorun
