I have a australian BTS. he was sold to me as an indonesian but several people have told me he isn't. So can you advise me on him, he has really slowed down and sleeping all the time.









Thanks Christine

With such a wide range it is hard to give any definite answer especially as I don't and haven't kept blue-tongues. However for a really comprehensive set of care sheets I'd recommend you work your way through this site Detailed Blue Tongue Skink Caresheet - BlueTongueSkinks.NET I've skimmed through it and don't think I can fault it. THere's a section in the Adult Care area which will help you I think.

Cheers Rick will do that. A couple of others on here have said theirs are doing the same so I'm not as worried now.

that is really helpful thankyou... I've been worried that mr quee is depressed or ill! he's (or she's not sure) only about 11 months old but over the last month his behaviour has changed and he's taken to lying on bottom of tank instead of basking in light all day, previously having regular bowel movements he now only goes once a week if that but I thought this might also be down to us starting to feed dubia roaches instead of crickets?? any advice welcome.. I have continued to leave UV light on for 10hrs a day and heat matt 24hrs is that right?
