Bye Bye Mr Blue.......

Postby Leigh » Tue May 29, 2012 12:57 pm

Well it's with great regret that I have to announce the introduction to some and a farewell to others for my mate Mr Blue :(
I know some of you are aware that I shall be an Ozzie on June 11th when we touch down in Perth to start a new life down under :nervous: :nervous: :spot: , as yet I have still not found a decent home to let him go to, so if there's anyone out there in the UK that take or knows of a taker I'd much appreciate it. Anyhoooow, here are a few finale photo's to look at, he's just shed and the eagle eyed might spot the two stuck gloves but they were removed before home time.

The last few are how I file the nails down NATURALLY.....All you need do is raise your skink slightly off the patio and his wheel spinning windmill effort, combined with the friction between your skin and his scales will be plenty enough to get them little scratchers dulled down a treat.

So here for you, Mr Blue.

Hope you liked, I shall still be popping in up to the 5th June as that's when the shipping comes, I will then with a little luck be back once settled in, somewhere between Perth and Rockingham, I noticed some of you members are WA,could you send me a message if you know of any nice areas where I'm heading, and of rentals after July 1st as that's when life begins proper.

I'm sorry you have to say good-bye to your buddy Leigh! I hope you're able to find him a great home. If it wasn't totally and completely illogical, I would take him in a heart-beat!

I'm SO jealous of your move, but also very excited for you. I know you're gonna love it there! Best of luck with all your travels and settling in!

Hi Leigh,

I have posted in response to your advert, but I would be happy to take him...

All the best,
Mark.

I miss the photos and captions. You always made me laugh, Leigh! Please get some Aussie blueys and post pictures of them when you're settled in! Good luck with the move, I have good friends in Rockingham that have too many baby Northerns at the moment, but I think you need a special licence / permit to own Northerns in WA.

Mr. Blue was always one of my favorite examples of an IJ. Very glad to see him going to a great home. :D

Im afraid that while we do need licenses to keep reptiles, despite being a wa species northerns arent allowed at all ;) they only exception may be if they hold a wildlife rehabilitation permit, but if they are in perth that is something i highly doubt~( in regards to them having breeding northerns, not that perth people cant hold such permits)

Good luck finding mr Blue a fantastic home~

Hi Mark I replied in the ad but I'll say again here, cheers for the offer mate but a friend has stepped up.

Cheers for all the wishes and info you've given me, hopefully once settled, I should be able to find the time to spend on here like I used to have, and the prospect of getting my hands on my dream skinkers is truely something else.
