Food is the motivation for everything. My skink, for example, will do anything for a cockroach. At first I lured him in to the edge of the terrarium, then onto my hand, etc As for fear and hiding, for some time I simply sat on the floor next to the terrarium with the glass open, often even talk to her get used to my presence. 😂 Ah, and when I wanted to take her in my arms, I didn't just grab her, I let her smell my hand and then I slowly reach for her from below. Now she waits for me every day. 😊

My BTS (a Northern) is my favorite lizard. She's so personable, and fun to watch. And feeding her is so easy now that she's an adult. She eats 3 days a week, and doesn't show any interest in food other than that. She doesn't love being held, but will tolerate it. I find her care as an adult way easier than as a baby.

I have an Indonesian blue tongue and he is the sweetest most docile loving boy 🥰 I absolutely adore him and he adores me 😍 Although he refuses anything else but one thing specifically 😊 That's ok. As long as he eats and is happy and healthy which he is 😁 Any time he sees me he comes over to the glass and stands up and starts clawing to get me to pick him up and let him out so he can sit with me or play etc. Best reptile I've ever mothered by far!

Our Northern wants out every day waiting at the door. So we have a tent setup for him to roam around when we can’t watch him roam around a huge basement.

I would love to see an updated feeding video with all your current pets! Also some more Rex content is always good haha

Since I'm Indonesian, I have to have one of them. Mine is feisty, liked to chase crickets around the tank and his favourite food is papaya.

A very interesting and informative video, thanks!

2:39 my leo makes the same sound when he’s being handled!🤣

I love your videos!

Great video, thank you.

My Leo always goes on my back where he knows I can't get him! I have also been stuck many times haha

Nice 🎉🎉🎉 I like Reptile

I learned so much about what BTS can eat in this video! Thank you for sharing the update on Bruce!

This is quite interesting...No plans to get one but this is interesting.

I got a "farm bread" blue tongue skink that absolutely hated me. I ended up selling him to a breeder. I definitely would recommend only buying them if they were hand raised

My blue tongue is snuggly potato. She also loves getting out of her tank and will demand to be let if I don’t hold her for the amount of time she wants.

Best lizard no contest the blue tongue skink love these guys so much

I have had my skink for 7yrs almost now. He hated being handled when i first got him. To some people this sounds stupid but i used a piece of blanket in his tank which had my scent on it, after a week he was fine having my hand near him and being picked up. I have used this method on my corn snake as well. He like yours still runs away when im in a room until i open his tank up then he is fine. I fined when i take him out i sit on the floor and lift him straight on my knee because when he is high up in my arms i got peed on alot 😂. Great name also for your skink he looks awsome

Beautiful bluetongue boy...

Cool

I wish I can buy locus in the United States I tried to look up locus so many times and can’t find nobody to sell them

I love Bruce he is super cute!

One time my skink went under my bed and I couldn't get him out, so I left a trail of apple slices. He does anything for apple. Goes crazy for it. 🤣

I got mine a month ago. Poop stinks more than a horse! Once saw one longer than his leg and he's 9 months old LOL. going on 18.5 inches so far

Is your guy axanthic? I have an axanthic indo BTS as well! They DEFINITELY learn as you mentioned 1:15. I've actually trained him to come out by doing a rubbing motion with my fingers whenever I feed him, and he comes RUNNING out whenever he sees me do that now. The unintended consequence of this was he's started to associate my fingers with food and I did get a little nip recently, so I'm planning to change up my cue haha. Your guy seems a little more happy to be handled than mine, mine gets a bit hissy but not aggressive at all. I typically just pet him instead to keep him comfortable with handling, without actually having to lift him up (he seems to be afraid of heights though he loves to climb). I have also found that my guy really doesn't burrow as much as other blue tongue skinks, even when I've made an effort to pile cypress mulch up he really doesn't seem to care to burrow Also LOVE your tank setup! I thought mine was pretty nice but yours is next level

👍🏽

I was wondering, because I didn't see it in your video backlog: Could you do a video on crested gecko body language?? I've got a new girl who's a full adult. She was an adoption from a breeder as she wasn't laying eggs very well; most were duds. And I fell in love with her and just didn't want a cheap unethical breeder overtaxing her and killing her in the process. I'm a keeper and already have a gargoyle gecko, a red tail boa I've had for going on 20 years now, and a baby green tree python. I love all my children and it's been pretty easy for me to read their body language; but I feel like this new girl, I call her Duchess, is still learning to trust me. And I just don't know if I'm doing anything wrong. I've watched a lot of your vids, and they've been so helpful! A lot of reptile youtubers are breeders; and keeping is a very different game. So thanks for making content! If you do make a vid about my question, or reply to this, thank you!

What dose us mean when my leopard gecko is trying to curl up and wont eat food

My classmate owns a blue tounge skinks, it is most likely wild caught but I'm not so sure. He says it always bites him and he wants to give it away for free

I had an Indonesian named wasabi…she lived up to her name lmao
