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.
Albumin is a protein manufactured in the liver and stored as a particle in the blood. Serum albumin serves the basic function of holding fluid in your blood through the process of osmosis. Low levels of albumin cause fluid to seep into the third space, the area between cells. This causes complications called edema or ascites, inappropriate fluid retention and bloating. Inadequate dietary protein can affect the amount of albumin in your body, resulting in major health implications.
