Guide to Caring for Indonesian Blue Tongue Skinks

Skinks with blue tongues for sale are among the easiest lizards to manage. They’re full of personality and have amazing, eccentric personalities. The scales of a baby blue tongue skink for sale are smooth and lustrous, and their brilliant blue tongue is unmistakable. Blue tongues are exceptionally resilient and can live in captivity for up to 20 years.

They give birth to live young and have between 5 and 15 children. Adults grow to be roughly 18-22 inches long when fully mature. Blue tongue skinks can be found in Australia (Tiliqua scincoides) or Indonesia (Tiliqua scincoides) (Tiliqua gigas). Halmahera blue tongue skinks for sale are native to the Indonesian island of Halmahera. Both species have similar needs for care and can live happily in captivity.

Indonesian Blue Tongue Skink Cage Requirements

Preparing their habitat before bringing your new blue tongue skink home will save you and your skink a lot of time and aggravation. Blue tongues will thrive in either a rack system or a glass aquarium tank. A 10- to 20-gallon glass tank or a 12- to 28-quart tub rack system can be used to raise baby skinks. As they grow older, they will require a larger tank that is more appropriate for their size.

Adult skinks should be kept in either a 40 gallon breeder glass aquarium or a 32-41qt rack system, with the larger the preferable. Except for breeding purposes, it’s advisable to keep blue tongue skinks separate. Whatever method you use for enclosing your pet, keep in mind that it must be escape proof. On an aquarium, a simple locking screen top will suffice.

UV Lights for Indonesian Blue Tongue Skinks

The Halmahera is a small island off the coast of Indonesia. A cold-blooded reptile, the blue tongue skink is a cold-blooded reptile. Blue tongue skinks for sale are cold blooded, which means they rely on their surroundings to maintain the proper temperature. The blue tongue will be able to thermoregulate itself by moving to whichever temperature they believe they need at the time if you provide a warm and a chilly side.

The cage’s cooler side should be 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit, while the hot side should be 92-99 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s important to remember that the temperature gradient can be created in a variety of methods. An under tank warmer, such as a heat mat or a heat lamp from above, is also a popular option with glass tanks. As blue tongue skink breeders, we use full spectrum UV to keep our skinks healthy. Finally, your UV should be turned on and off every 12 hours. Remember that many breeders successfully keep and breed blue tongue skinks for sale in rack systems without the use of UV illumination. indonesian blue tongue skink subspecies

Humidity of the Indonesian Blue Tongue Skink

Heat tape or heat cable is used to heat most skinks maintained in rack systems. Whatever heating technique you choose, be sure it’s connected to a good thermostat. For our thermostat, we will always use and swear by Spyder Robotics herpstats. The thermostat will monitor the temperature in the tank and switch on the heat if it drops too low; once the temperature has reached the desired level, it will turn off and never allow the tank to overheat.

It is critical to maintain humidity within the enclosure in order to keep your blue tongue healthy. A moderate humidity level of 40-45 percent is ideal for blue tongue skinks. The substrate should be damp, but not soggy that water puddles on it. Not only will adequate humidity keep your skink happy, but it will also allow it to shed properly and healthily. Humidity levels will be dramatically different at different heights and locations around the world. A hygrometer, which can be obtained online or at many retail pet stores, is the easiest way to keep track of your tank’s levels. By placing a large water dish closer to the hot side of the tank or spraying it, you can increase the humidity. When evaluating humidity, it’s vital to think about ventilation. If you need to change the moisture level in the tank, increase the ventilation and the humidity will drop, and vice versa.

Indonesian blue tongue skinks need water.

In the blue tongues enclosure, a clean, fresh water bowl should be installed. A sturdy bowl is recommended to prevent the skink from tipping it over and spilling all of the water. Water should be changed at least once a day or as soon as it becomes unclean. I’d also recommend a bowl that can withstand high temperatures in the dishwasher. It’s important to disinfect the water bowl on a regular basis. If you can’t put it in the dishwasher or prefer to clean it by hand, ordinary soap and water will do the trick. Before replacing any cleaning solution with cool, fresh water for your blue tongue, make sure to properly rinse it out. I’d add suggest a dish big enough for the blue tongue to fit in, as we frequently see ours soaking for a few minutes. classic indonesian blue tongue skink

Within your blue tongues tank, you have a variety of substrates to choose from. Mulch and aspen are popular choices. We personally use a coconut fiber and coir chunk blend, which we find makes spot cleaning a breeze and holds humidity well. It also allows the skinks to dig readily in their substrate if they so desire. Pet retailers stock a wide range of substrates in a variety of sizes. For years, newspapers or liners have been utilized successfully in tanks and racks. We do not recommend using cedar bedding with your snakes because it is poisonous and can be quite dangerous!

A hide in a rack system is not required for a tank setup, although it is recommended. If they become stressed, a hide will allow them to retreat to their safe haven. We recommend utilizing many skins if you have a large enclosure so your skink has a variety of options. If you only have one hide in the tank, a hide on both the hot and cold sides will allow the skink to hide in comfort without having to choose between being too hot or too cold. Ensure that the hide is big enough to fit the entire blue tongue inside or underneath it. Logs or branches can be utilized to add extra goods to your tank, and your skink may be found hidden behind them.

Cleanliness is critical to the health of your skink. Every day, or as soon as you notice your blue tongue messing up the cage, “spot clean” any messes. At least once a month, thoroughly clean the tank, water dish, and all extra hides/branches in the enclosure. Sterilize the items (that fit) by running them in a high-temperature dish washer with soap. People have also reported that scrubbing with soap and thoroughly cleaning the objects and tank works wonders. In our rack system, we clean our tubs with an F10 solution. F10 is a veterinary disinfectant that we buy from Reptile Basics online. Cleaning the tank and objects will vary depending on how busy and filthy your blue tongue is, but a clean tank ensures a healthy skink!

Feeding a blue tongue skink from Indonesia

Halmahera is an Indonesian island off the coast of Sumatra. Skinks with blue tongues are omnivorous, meaning they eat both plants and meat. Your skink will grow up healthy if you feed him a well-balanced diet. We aim for a 50/40/10 meal plan, which includes 50% vegetables and greens, 40% meat/protein, and 10% fruits. Variety is important, and switching up different food sources to keep skinks from becoming picky eaters is a smart idea. Collards, kale, peas, mustard green, and bok choy are examples of greens. Bananas (a favorite of our skinks), blueberries, melons, and apples are examples of fruits. Meats such as chicken, turkey, insects, eggs, or a high-quality wet dog food should always be well prepared.

Food should be given to baby blue tongues on a daily basis to guarantee proper growth. Adults can be fed once every two weeks. To avoid attracting unwanted bugs, uneaten food should be discarded as soon as possible. Rhubarb, avocado, eggplant, and high citrus fruits are a few foods to avoid. Every other feeding, a high-quality vitamin/calcium supplement should be taken to ensure that your skink receives adequate nutrition. Although an adult skink’s appetite may be diminished during the winter months, food should always be provided.
