I voted Shingleback only because westerns are NOT HERE...well, not to be found anyway... :) Plus, Shingles have been my favorite lizard (period) since I was a young herper (14 or so). I guess it would be a toss up between Westerns and Shingles if I HAD to chose... :)

:thinking: It's been so long since I voted but I seem to remember that I chose Centralians ... with Westerns as a very close second favorite. Then again, I also love blotcheds and Rottnest Island shinglebacks.
All of this, of course, is only because Kimberleys are not on the list. :cloud9:

Looking at your profile images, Ziggy is not a Blue Tongue. I would say shneiders skink or maybe a type of egeneria. Post a bunch of photos in the Off Topic Thread, and someone will let you know exactly what you've got! :D Love the avatar.

The northerns are so friendly and cute!! :)
This is my first blue tongue skink I have owned, but I am having a great time taking care of him! His name is Cartman from the character on South Park, and he loves to explore around my room! When he gets hungry he loves to eat applesauce, and he goes crazy as he flicks his blue tongue out eating it! :) In Cartman's free-time he loves to lift up his upper body and hold his hands out, in what I think of as a "Superman" pose!

Hi, I'm new here! I don't know anybody else who owns a bluey, nice to see there's so many of us out there :D
To be honest I'm not sure what my favourite type of skink is, but I think my one is a Tanimbar/Indonesion X, so I suppose they're my favourites.

This is Logan, any ideas to what type he is? I got him from my mum's colleague when he moved, and we're not in touch with him anymore so can't ask!Image
