Hey everyone,
My Pink Tongue Skink has what I like to call a 'tegu neck', that is the space between his head and forelimbs (?) is kinda puffy and large, like a tegu.
From what I recall he's had this since I've gotten him but I believe it's gotten larger, also I'm not even sure if there's even supposed to be that much skin, fat ect in that area.
He's not overweight or anything, and eats mostly snails and wet skink pellets.
I just don't know if this is quite normal? Does anyone else's Pink Tongue Skink have this? Or is it time for a trip to the vet?
 
ah okay that would explain it, lol. Thanks :)
All good.
Besides that ive only seen swelling there with bad tick infections in wild skinks which is highly visible anyway so I'm sure u don't have that problem [emoji4]
