Hi everyone, my partner and I have just taken the plunge into owning reptiles for the first time. He has a Children's Python and I have two Eastern Water Skinks. The skinks were in the same tank at the store but when I got them home and settled them into the new tank, I noticed that the slightly bigger one "Scotch" was attacking the smaller, sleeker "Whiskey".
After two days of letting them settle in, I noticed that Whiskey was fleeing whenever Scotch went close and also wasn't eating, although Scotch ate enough for both of them. I decided to separate them and now have them in different tanks and Scotch is fine but Whiskey still isn't eating.
The reptile show we purchased them from gave me crickets to feed them but Whiskey has left them to roam freely through the tank and is ignoring them. I wondered if they were too big but Scotch, who is only slightly bigger, is managing just fine.
Should I be worried?
Thanks in advance!
