Our third baby croc skink hatched on Friday 9/28/2012. Took a couple of hours for him to break through the shell. He is now is a small critter keeper so that we can monitor how many mealworms he is eating. After his first night it appears that he ate one mealworm. Our other babies skinks didn't touch a mealworm for at least a couple of days after hatching. Usually babies are still finishing the yoke that they were using while in the egg. This baby came in weighing 2.1 grams. We will be monitoring weight to see how much they grow.
To give you an idea what the parents look like, the mother is to the right. She is about 6-7 inches long and roughly 40 grams.
