New to Blue Tounges. Looking for an ID

Postby LoveyDove » Wed Sep 07, 2011 6:57 pm

There was a Blue Tounge at the pet store. She had been there for over 2 months and I finally couldn't stand seeing her inside a tiny tank. The day I decided, I had been looking in her tank and she was just laying there with sad eyes, I made kissing noises at her and she started lifting her head up to look at me and at that point I knew I needed to bring her home.

By the way I have no idea whether she is male or female, I just feel like shes a she.

I am interested in knowing what species she is, any ideas?

Here is Princess Kira!!

You have a gorgeous Indonesian!! :D

I have a bluey named Kira too, so it is an excellent name choice.

I have to warn you... I also had a strong feeling that my Kira was a girl. :oops: Now I have a boy named Kira. I hope it works out better for you, but if your Kira is a boy as well then they can start a club or something. :lol:

Welcome to the forum!!

As Kat said, it is a Tiliqua gigas gigas or an Indonesian. Very healthy looking skink!

I would disagree with you and have a feeling that it is a male ;)

Thank you for the ID, I was thinking she was an Indonesian from looking at pictures on here but wasn't sure. :)

I hope she doesn't turn out to be a he, my boyfriend wants her to be a he and I want her to be a her.

Thanks for the welcome! :)

If your 'she' turns out to be a 'he',
just change his name from Princess Kira to Prince Kiro.

He'll be like the "Orlando" of Skinks.
(well, in reverse...but y'know)

Prince Kiro really isn't a bad idea, I might like that. Thanks for the idea. :D And yes Nae, Katrina told me that she has a Kira that she thought was female but ended up being male.
