At first you may only be able to pet it, or hold it for a minute, or let it sit on your lap. Remember that every skink is different, some will have things they accept, things they like, and things they dislike. Every interaction that doesn't stress the skink out very much is a positive step forward.
The albumins (formed from Latin: albumen (egg) white; dried egg white) are a family of globular proteins, the most common of which are the serum albumins. All the proteins of the albumin family are water-soluble, moderately soluble in concentrated salt solutions, and experience heat denaturation. Albumins are commonly found in blood plasma and differ from other blood proteins in that they are not glycosylated.
Serum albumin, the albumin measured from your blood, has long been used as a market of nutritional status in all patients regardless of kidney function. Albumin is a protein which your body uses as a carrier for other substances such as electrolytes, hormones, and fatty acids. Albumin is also the main contributor to oncotic pressure, which means that it helps keep fluid in your blood vessel rather than allow it to leak into your tissues which causes swelling or edema.
