My son's skink is shedding and hasn't eaten anything since Thursday. Is this normal?

Most lizards do not eat when they are sheddding, and thus are also quite lethargic. That is normal.

:yeahthat: and grouchy so watch your fingers! :jet:

Thanks :yay:

I thought so but wasn't 100% sure. We pulled him out of the sand, but he quickly buried himself right back.

How long does this shedding process last?

about a week, maybe less or maybe more, depends on the lizard.

I don't think he'd appreciate you talking about his shrinking "skink" to strangers on the internet...:eyebrow:

Maybe that is why he has been keeping his head in the sand? :lol:

Thank you! So maybe around mid-week he'll eat again.
