I hope you don't mind, but I split this question from the other topic.

There are no guarantees that babies will ensue after one or even many matings. Having your skinks properly cycled and mated at the right time of year and temperatures increases your chances of a successful gravidity, but unfortunately breeding blue tongue skinks can be a seemingly eternal guessing game. :wink:
