I have been finding these around the food bowls, with my Pink-Tongued Skinks. Does anybody know what they are, and if they are any danger to the Skinks?

I believe what you have there are pauropods. These are related to millipedes and like them feed on detritus. Harmless to the skinks. Side question, what are your pinktongues eating? I've had several chances to get some but the snail only diet makes me hesitate.

They are raised on canned chicken cat food, with crushed Mazuri Omnivore diet on top. I have raised my group from babies on that diet.Other Pink-Tounged breeders have had very good results on that diet.
