Love the pics of Pekoe, Bomber and the parents. I think Evita and Wasp are two of them best looking Northerns I've ever seen, so I'm really excited that Sami is turning out looking like them. :D I'm curious to see what Larry looks like.

As for names for QD - I really liked Phaemas's suggestions of Peggie or something Winnipeg related, but we are really trying to stay gender neutral because I always get it wrong if I guess a gender before you can tell! ML made a suggestion earlier - Bermuda, and so far that seems to be the favorite. What do you guys think? Little skink named Bermuda?

Bermuda sounds like a great name, but be prepared for a troublesome skink :) Hopefully it never gets lost...

I love both Sammi and OD. They are both. QD is so cool with his extra bit of darkness.

Fluke and Wasp produced the second litter which included QD, Pekoe and Bomber. They've bred 2x so far this season and I've only just started pairing them :)


Who are the last two skinks in this series of photos?

Larry has very similar coloring to our male Thor. Thor is very dark across the back, with peachy sides, and a very dark tail. Larry is very handsome!

Wow!!! Larry is the darkest of the bunch, even less orange than his parents or Sami. He is really, really pretty!! Thanks for posting pictures, I just love how he turned out. Very similar to Sami. I love all the pictures in this thread, so great to see the parents and babies together.

Its making me smile so much to see photos of my grand-babies <3 We need to keep doing these photo threads as the skinks keep growing. I'll have to see about having an area on my new website for updated baby-photos from new owners :D

I love the white flecking too, Sami is getting that as well. Mel has great looking grandkids!

I can't really tell gender from the pics - I think that Pekoe might be a boy. If you can get pictures that show the entire body and tail from straight above it would help, I can't really tell with any certainty. Keep posting pictures, I love seeing them. You can really tell that Sami and Larry are siblings, the second litter seems to have a bit more variability (especially with Bomber). I'm very curious to see how Bermuda and Pekoe look in a few more months.
