Here's my skink. I just got him 3-4 weeks ago. He just went through his first shed with me and he looks better than ever. He's 2 years old (or so I was told). I was also told he was a northern but I highly doubt that. Can anyone shed some light on what kind he is

First time posting, so lets see how this goes!

This is my little love Reese. I bought her from a local expo July 1st. I originally went in hopes of getting a northern but the breeder I talked to didn't make the expo while I was there. So I ended up with my merauke and I couldn't be happier. She's about 5 months now (:

Hello everyone, this is Dougie:

He is the second Bluey I've owned, after I originally had to give my first one up for adoption before a move a few years back. He's allegedly a three month old, purebred Northern, but those dark patches behind his eyes give me a bit of pause; would anyone care to verify his breed?
Regardless, I've only just brought him home tonight and am completely enamored! :love: Very energetic and personable, despite some initial huffiness.

This is Gurumarra - about 4 months old Northern who is our classroom pet. The kids love feeding him and he watches them as much as they do him. I've always loved these guys ever since I was knee high and there was one at our zoo.

ugh. pics apparently didn't work.

My 4 month old Northern, Gurumarra. He's a classroom pet in my Science 7 classes and the kids love him and love bringing him his food. He's still getting used to them more and more and watches them about as much as they do him (if not moreso).

Hey guys, I'm rather new to the forum, I've used it many times for advice but this will be my first post. I believe Limbo is an Indonesian but I know they are notoriously hard to know for certain unless you have experience. He'll be 3 this december, and I've had him since he was just a baby. Anyways here's my bt![album][/album]

This is King Billy and Correa. They are two Tasmanian Blotched Blue-Tongues. They were rescued from a fire pit as babies down in Hobart, 3 hours from where I live. They are one year old. Correa is 32cm and King Billy is 36cm long. I named them after Tasmanian Native Plants, the King Billy Pine and the Correa. Their favorite food is Skippy (Kangaroo meat), snails, strawberry, banana and boiled egg.

I just adopted this guy, my first ever rescue reptile. This website has been a huge help in learning how to care for him. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

My husband works for animal control, they got a call that this BTS was left behind by a former tenant who could no longer care for several reptiles. (That tenant was notified and given substantial time to claim his pets.) I visited the shelter several times and fell in love. We named him Sparkle, after a local Christmas parade being held the day we got him. Sparkle now lives in my elementary classroom. He is quite the character!

My south Queensland Easterns Kira and Bajo.
I got Kira when she was 4 weeks old from a breeder a few hours far from home. She's my first reptile. She is 2 years old and 50cm long.
I got Bajo from VHS (victorian herpetological society) reptile expo in March, he was less than a week old when i got him. He is nearly 10-11 months old now and currently 36cm long. He was an impulse buy bc 1 skink is never enough.

They don't live together btw, they're only together when they're outside under supervision.
