Answer 1

I am sorry but that was a mistake to take her and her babies from the wild. You Need to put them back now! There is no way the will survive please put them back where you found them.

Answer 2

I suggest calling your local pet store for help, or contacting Petsmart or Petco. They should be able to help... Otherwise, I'm not sure. But contact someone professional!!!!

Answer 3

you did them quite a disservice. the best you can do is  release  them as close as possible to where you found them. they need enclosures, heating and uv lighting, and unless your willing and able to provide this to them you should never, ever raise young animals. besides that, i find it intensely cruel to take animals from the wild, and diregard the poster that suggested you contact petco. i can think of no worse thing to do to a reptile than to take it from the wild and put it day 2 into a petco tank.

let them go where you found them. without food and heat and light they WILL die.

Answer 4

let em go raghead

Answer 5

You need to let nature take its course.  If you would of left them alone they would be eating and thriving naturally.  If you want a pet go to a pet store, They can help you find the best pet for you.  They have all kinds of animals, even reptiles!  No offense I am just giving you some advice.  You should definitely put them back where you found them.   Good luck! :]]

Answer 6

That was very wrong of you, and probably illegal. And by the way, there is no such thing as a blue tailed skink. There is more than one species of skink with a blue tail. You most likely have five lined skinks. Now let them go before you kill the rest. This is why wild animals should be left alone.
