okay so i have an occelated skink and he ate an enormous cricket 4 days ago and he usually eats 5-6 crickets ever 2 days or so, now at first i was thinking its taking longer to digest but he is still pooping everyday, yet the crickets remain in the cage, he is not eating. also near his back legs on his back he has a pink bump on the side, not sure if its shedding or internal injury or what it is ! ? im worried about the little bugger any ideas?

see the weird pink bump

Someone else has one too! LOL

If he's still pooping everyday he's definitely not bound up or impacted.

The Red bump looks like a cyst or burn.....is that hotrock plugged in? You know the ways these guys like to burrow...could gotten underneath it and hit on of the hotspots.

It was just a thought.

No mine didn't....I was just refering to the fact you have an Ocellated Skink....as do I.

There the possibilty as well for parasite, since most of these guys are wild caught....of course the only way to be for sure on that is a vet check.

Ohh that doesnt look good looks kinda like a burn to me..
Or like Brad said paracites..
A vet visit sounds good..
