BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hey everyone,

Sorry to bug so much! First bluey and I guess I'm just paranoid. Anyway, I've had a couple people tell me she's too skinny, one being a herpetology professor, so I'm a little worried. I don't see her hip bones or anything, and she's eating well but I was hoping you guys could give me your input. Here are some photos I took just a couple hours ago







Thanks you guys!

looks ok to me,body weight wise,tail looks thin but no protuding hip bones,skinny under weight blueys show hip bones


looks rather young still,small,so tail should fatten up in time as it eats more,fat reserve build up

Agreed, she looks to be in good body-shape. And very cute.

Thanks guys, that makes me feel more relieved

Those eyes!!!

Awww, that's fantastic! Baby skinks are the best! is she your first?

I was told my child is an IJ...she looks like one too I think, no?

Yes my Evie is my first skink and she is fantastic she is only a few weeks old She is supposed to be an eastern bit she she has the same markings of an irian jaya very like yours with the black spoted legs and the brown stripes on her back i think she may be a hybrid but takes after mother ,and her tongues always going mad when i bring her new places whats your skinks name? shes so adorable

In my limited experience, with the 2 young blueys i had, they looked about the same. My Indo didnt start looking thicker until about a year in

I just want to give her love and cuddles!
