I always try.... Call it the nurse in me. I've done this a few times over the years but never got a chance to document it.
Sometimes babies don't have a good start. This little Halloween baby northern blue tongue skink was born lifeless and still. Upon finding it, I immediately removed it from it's sac (which was stuck over it's head) and performed cpr. After some time, I noticed a faint heartbeat. I continued with rescue breaths and the heartbeat got stronger... Eventually it was taking breaths on its own, albeit shallow and sporadic.. Eventually it righted itself and I'm happy to say it is doing extremely well, eating and showing me how big and scary it can be!!
Love when I'm lucky enough to catch this...
Big, bad fiesty newborn! Until picked up 😂
Not the best quality video, but an interesting one nonetheless. Baby pink tongues do not have pink tongues at all! They are born with black tongues that change to match the skink's name as it grows!

More curious about me than each other. Love their bold, curious personalities.
Gorgeous little orange one. Fiesty.
Pushup breaths. She's huge!
In case anyone is wondering what a really pissed off bluey sounds like.. Myers living up to his name. At least he isn't striking now. Any snoot boopers out there want to give it a try? ;)
The berbers are doing well. Always fun watching them eat.
