I will bbe getting an adult Irian Jaya blue tongue skink in a few days and I just had a few questions about how much and how often that I should feed her. If any one has any recommendations even if it is just foods that their skink likes please comment.

I under stand the 50% vegtables and greens, 35% animal protein (Crickets, worms, etc), 5% fruit. With the occcasional mouse for protein and calcium. I just need some help with the quantity and how often I should feed her?

I have a two year IJ bt . I would for go the crickets use roaches or super worms . A good quality dog fodd mixed with some collard greens,kale, mustard greens fruit should be used as an occasional treat mice should be also used occasionally hope this works for you good luck

I feed my BT canned dog food mixed with green beans and peas. He also likes scrambled eggs, bananas. I feed him two or three times a week and sprinkle calcium with vit.D
