Can a crocodile and a bluey be friends?

Palm Bay, FL
Apparently so.

Never one to disappoint her fans, Scout took time to pose for pics for her adoring paparazzi with this unidentified crocodile.

She even flashed her trademarked blue tongue as she posed for this one.
When asked about the potential release of her rumored litter, however, she was characteristically closed lipped.
"I'm here for the fans for sure," she said, "but in the end, I do my own thing in my own time. If you want to know how the story ends, you'll just have to see for yourself. Scout out!"

Don't feel too disappointed, fans. Even her managers are still in the dark in this one.
Zipper also was MIA and refused to comment due to "shedding."
"I guess we'll all just have to wait and see" said one of Scout's Co-Managers, Aaron Houts, "but as soon as we get any word, bluestongueskinks.org will be the first to know."

.... I was expecting a crocodile water skink ( Indonesian skink species I've heard of ) and my answer in that case would be yes , since I know people who keep Australian eastern water skinks and BTs in the same outdoor pits quite successfully.... and the two species often hang about together in the wild In people's gardens here ( NSW Australia )

... that's a nice looking BT BTW .... and you can tell it's cleaver and very inquisitive and very happy ...

Thanks for the comments and compliments, everybody!
Yes, she really is special and, as you can see, well-loved. I think she knows it, too.
We got her when she was little-probably a few months old-and have always spent a lot of time with her. She's very used to us and not afraid of us at all. We're just part of her reality as she's known us most of her life. I think it allows us to see her personality because she doesn't go into defensive mode and just pretty much "does her own thing."

That's great. The post title actually scared me. I was afraid to look!

If it's an acutual crocodile, then the Blue Tongued Skink has a problem. If it's a crocodile skink and not an acutual crocodile, then the Crocodile Skink has a problem
