Make sure to check for parasites as it’s very common for them to come imported with them. You’ll also want your sand to be at least 4-5 inches deep I wouldn’t recommend for beginners only bc they often have a difficult time adjusting to captivity
would a 20 gallon long tank be to big for these little guys? I'm not a beginner keeper but recently discovered these cuties. Will be doing a to more research!
I have leopard gecko and I’m upgrading him from a 10 g to a 20+ g and I’m looking for a reptile for the 10 g and I recently found out about sandfishes tysm for the vid
I am 12 and plan to be a herpetologist and leopard geckos only need a 20 gallon long, make sure one side has a heat pad and the other doesn’t with hides on top of each side.
They also need reptile calcium dish in their tank, if you don’t feel like dusting crickets, make sure that the calcium they have inside the tank is without D3 so they do not overdose
As we mentioned in the video, he was in this small tank temporarily while we buffed him with food, as he came in underweight. It is easier for them to find food and better for us to monitor his growth in a smaller terrarium.
Sorry, this tank is not a 10G high. An exo terra 12x12x18 is the high model. This is the 12x12x12. All of the exo terra "low" models are 12" in height.
Agreed. I think 1 needs a 10 gal long. The reason why the tank is so small for this skink is because of his situation. They needed to monitor the feeding of the skink because it was underweight.
Do I have to worry about uneven/bumpy/not smooth pieces of wood; if a sandfish swam under and rubbed against the wrong part would it get hurt? Should I put the insects (such as dubia) in a bowl or let them free?
They're really tempting, but I already have a kenyan sand boa. One derpy desert critter that I almost never see because they're always buried seems like enough for now.
If it's a low or breeder style tank with more floor space 4-5 would be a good number, if its a standard 45 2-3 would be more suitable. When co-habbing them you'll want to be sure you only have 1 male in the group and that they're all a similar size as to not run into aggression issues
@@piscespet1 its a standard glass fish tank that is fairly tall and really long, i can easily fit 5 inches of sand in there. Can i keep multiple females together, or is a male necessary?
@@onemanboostingservice8971 im trying my best i also know that wild caught animals r always more jumpy, nervous, and could possibly have parasites but, if i end up not being able to find a captive bred ill just get the wild caught

How about captive bred
@@robot_j2831 There are none captive bred, at least, none in the US anyway
Thanks for the warning

@@samanthahughes4961 A 20g long would be great for them! The more room the better as they can be pretty active

That enclosure is way too small. The surface should be at least as large as the table that vivarium is standing on.

Don’t want to say owned but owned
Imagine watching the video before making yourself mad and commenting 😂😂😂 clown
Also you’ll want your hot spot to be 100-115F
Been looking for more info on these. Thanks!
That is a 10 g high you need a regular 10 g

Yuh what he set tera sum sum sum
Should i buy a 25 watt ceramic heat emitter for the same tank as you or a 40 watt one
@Pisces Pets How is your Heat Lamp Setup? Is it in the tank or behind it?
Where did you get your sandfish skink?
they are hard to find, make sure you find a captive bred one or else you will have lots of complications like parisites.
@@js-lz9xg hmm i see
Thanks 🎉
No way that tank is large enough
Same thoughts

how is the skink doing now?? it’s been a while since i seen a vid on them.
he got sold, we are a pet store :)

I’m in Chicago and these are hard to find

About how many of these guys can I keep in a 45 gallon long tank?
If it's a low or breeder style tank with more floor space 4-5 would be a good number, if its a standard 45 2-3 would be more suitable. When co-habbing them you'll want to be sure you only have 1 male in the group and that they're all a similar size as to not run into aggression issues

Thank you for the information I just got on from behind my house I’m going to buy stuff for it
Awesome!
Dude why ? Wildcaught animals fucking suck. If you want an reptile then buy a captive bred
@@onemanboostingservice8971 theres like no one breeding them in captivity...
@@snake4683 yes but thats no reason for you to take one out of nature ! And there are people breeding them, just look online.
