Hey all, I'm getting my lovely 2 year old BTS on Monday, I've had it on order for about a month now. Since everytime I went into the local rep shop he would always be scratching at the sides at me lol so naturally I fell in love! Put a deposit on him so I could do my research now I feel I'm ready to pick him up on Monday.

My question though when it comes to veggies + fruit does anyone have a favorite combo to feed? I understand they'll eat a lot of the same veggies as the beardies but also fruit. I'm interested in good combinations since the man in the shop told me that skink isn't as fond of live food as it is veg. It still gets offered them every couple of days but doesn't seem to a lot of them. So I want to make it some nice mixtures of food to counter that!

Thanks for reading lol.

My skink is on order in the pet shop too! Except i'm picking mine up a week on monday

They like mango, kiwi, raspberries, lots of greens.

Heres a site, it has a brilliant care sheet on and the diet section is brilliant

I'm going to buy raspberries in the frozen section. They're just as good and then they keep longer.

I would also suggest looking at those little pots in tesco, asda etc, of the pre-cut fruit.

It's fresh just smaller amounts of mixed fruit.

Good luck - and don't forget to POST PICS

Thanks very much for that Fantastic help! Ohh I have someone to share my excitement with! I've been going in the shop every other day for live food just pining over him lol. So glad it's nearly time to give him a good home!

I can only imagine you're as excited as I am hehe. Looks like a trip to Tesco over the weekend so thanks again for that! Don't worry as with all my reps I'll have pics up the moment I get him!

Heh 3 new lizards in the space of a week. How awesome is that lol.

YES! I'm so excited

It's torture waiting this long! She'll be my first lizard and shes so friendly.

Ohh yes can't wait for pics

I went in today and he didn't want to go back, i felt like grabbing him and running ! HAHA

Yeah, have a good look about in the freezer section when you go, i'm sure they do a frozen berry mix too, so it'lllast ages.

Good luck, feel free to pm me if you want to chat
