Default Skinks??!!

Got Two Skinks Left On My Doorstep Last Night, In A Glass Tank!! Looking On The Internet I Think They Are The Five Lined Type Poss Male And Female? Ideas On The Best Way To Keep Them Until I Can Move Them On To Another Home? Very Skinny All They Have In The Tank Is A Heat Light And A Mat.

Id have thought just add a small water bowl and a layer of sand and a toilet roll tube buried in the sand [or a couple] for hides.

havent checked specifically for care for the 5 lined skink though but think it would be standardish.

do ppl often leave things on your doorstep?

oh yeh thats even better lol.
i find loo roll/kitchen roll tubes to be great fro temp furnishings for small species and still use them with me leos and skinks... good size and obviously cheap..plus no way they can hurt the animal if they topple... and sometimes..when they go to climb over it and it may start to roll... its all fun and games really

good job with the rescue.
Wish you all the best.

How or why have you managed to start every word in your post with a capital letter, it looks like a very long title?

I Do It Sometimes Too.
I Am Not Sure Why But I Think It Looks Pretty Cool And Stands Out... Whilst Remaining Easy To Read... I Am Sure Thats Debatable Mind.

It happens if you keep the mong lock on.

Rather than hurt peoples eyes with capital letters it reformats it Like This With A Capital Letter At The Start Of Each Word.

Only does it if all the post is in capitals though i think.
