Alright, so I did the irresponsible thing and left my blue tongued skinks unattended with my little sister...She in turn left them unattended in my bathroom while I was cleaning cages (a never ending chore). My smaller one (im assuming that she is female) Tequila some how crawled into a tiny crevice that I over looked when lizard proofing my bathroom. I had to get out a prybar and tear apart my bathroom cabinet and part of the wall to get her out, when I got to her she was covered in dust and dog hair and cobwebs and all kinds of yucky stuff, she immediately went into the bath and got rinsed off, but it looks like she has some irritation to her eyes and shes been sneezing alot, i think she may have eaten a couple of dust bunnies, do you guys think that I should be concerned, or should I just be happy that I found her after her adventure?

First of all might I say Tequilla is an awesome name! Well you never know what she couldve gotten into back there, hopefully she is fine but you never know . If the irritation and sneezing (didnt know they could sneeze) dont stop by tomorrow Id take a "better safe than sorry" vet visit.

I agree; if it doesn't stop, take her to a vet -- she might have picked up something toxic. Most likely she's just irritated and sneezing because of the dust or water in her nasal passages (or water that knocked dust further back.)
But considering all the trouble you went through to find a Blue Tongue Skink, I'd play it safe!
Good luck and let us know how she gets on.

Okay, She seems to be fine today, eating and pooping and all that on schedule...she stopped sneezing as well. So I think there is no reason to worry, but boy let me tell you, i'm going to go lizard-proofing tomorrow!

Deltro- I came up with the name when my little sister mispronounced 'tiliqua gigas gigas' which is their latin name, my other bluey is named "Jack" because it seemed fitting. ;-)
