BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Check out what came in the mail! (Alright, I picked them up at the airport, but still.)





Let's hear opinions on male/female. They are all Merauke, so no help needed there.
And any name suggestions would be welcome as well...

Check out the tail on this ...girl?! The same skink as in the middle picture above.

YAY! So awesome!!

The last one is thick and chunky looking, so I'd guess female... the rest I really wouldn't know.
What are they like so far? I love how they're all such different shapes! GAH they're so cute!
Very happy for you. ^^

The one on the bottom is lookin' a little tubby while lying in a tub, so she has got to be named just that..."Tubby". You can call her "Tubs" for short.

Tubby it is! Look at that, my hubby named Tubby!
(...I happen to be married to Eurastus ...and THANKFULLY Eurastus is NOT his real name!)

So far, let's just say I'm glad I haven't lost any fingers yet! Definitely not your average pet; they are wild caught, and spent their time in the U.S. so far in large breeding "collections", so they aren't tamed.
But SO much fun! So far.
And hopefully, with some consistent gentle handling, we'll get to where we trust each other.

*__* new skinks, and theyre lovely!

i see one decided to shed, that means you have to post more photos of him/her once hes finished! (and the others)

name suggestions...hmm.....i bet someone is going to say candy cane soon so ill think of something else......

the top one has a really pretty nyance difference between body and tail, and when i looked at his back banding i kept staring. hes got two dots where a band couldve been, and its so cool! (not to mention his Y bandings on the tail<3) since you already feed them a little dogfood, how about naming him spot/pricken?

tubby looks tubby : D

and the shedding one, how about "Tails"? a character from the sonic series also have that as a name.

Very nice, I love meraukes! Suggestion for name of the one shedding is Ruby, colors look reddish.

Wow!! Look at you doubling the size of your collection in one swoop! They're all gorgeous. Are these the three that Andrew Seike had for sale?

wow the tail on that one is sooooo long!
grats on your new beautiful meraukes!!!

All so lovely! That top one looks a lot like my Sylvia, though I'm starting to think she might have a regrown tail, hers is not nearly so long. That one in the middle looks like it has some great color.

They look great Susan! I am glad you got them. Congratulations!

I think so to so I'll say before they do.
Name the second one candy cane!!!

They're all gorgeous, congrats!!!

Thank you everybody!
It’s already been said, but I will confirm; YES I got them from Andrew Seike.

Life has suddenly turned into a mad-house; I won’t bore you with details, but let’s just say suddenly deciding to add 3 full-grown skinks, and receiving them the next day, has kept me running nearly 24/7.
I had to quickly throw up some pictures though, just to brag a bit, so thank you for all the congrats and name-suggestions!

I will be back as soon as I can, and I promise to bring pictures.

Very nice pickup. Thanks for sharing.

My guess for sexes would be M, M, F. Just guesses though, since Andrew was selling them as 1.1.1 I am assuming the one is a tricky one to sex. From the one photo I'd guess male.

I would guess Male, Male, Female as well.
Look at the length of the tails
