BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Okay,
So today I went to Reptile City to have a look at my blue tongue skink and he is perfect!!! He is everything I could want he is soooooo cute! And I'm getting him tomorrow I'm so excited I'm jumping around and practically whooping for joy! When we went to see Smudge I was so happy and then... He pood on me, I'm not so upset or anything heis still my baby but mummy said that his nick name is crapper I hope she forgets in the morning :p

If you are going to be handling him, you might want to get use to getting pooped on lol. If they need to go, they will go and some dont care where they are at the time

Ahh a south australian,reptile city is a good shop,breed most of the animals they sell,the owners are both great blokes to,pity more shops arent like that

Pooping can be normal,some do it when nervous,but settle quickly,or you may have just been unlucky and it needed to go

What species are u getting

I have a two year old eastern boy.

Well where are the pictures! I would love to see him!


Off-topic - Richard and Lea, if you shop at the same reptile store, have you ever met in person?

Congrats! I'd love to see pics as well.

Here is my soon to be baby boy!

Here are some more

Gorgeous Eastern! Feel free to post pics anytime!

Nice looking eastern,nope never been there but have a mate that has,and have chatted with the owner a bit,only been to sa once and it was just popping over the border ,we got scared of the crazy south australians and hightailed it back over tje border to safety,haha,kidding,just drove over border to say ive been in south australia before many a moon ago

Lea if i ever do go over again you can take me stumpy sight seeing,ive only ever seen wild roadkill unfortunatly

I know I'm not holding him very well but here is a pic.

I really like that guy! I would buy him in a minute if I had the opportunity.

Haha you are already broken in! Every single one of my reptiles has pooped on me with the exception of all of my boas. I just got crapped on Friday by my new foster cornsnake (right after I decided to adopt him!) LOL
Normally they do it once to me and then everything is good

Beautiful little skink Congrats!

Nothing wrong with how your holding it either,good support along its body with 2 hands is how they feel most comfy

He's very pretty. I'm not sure if he is just finishing up a shed but he appears to have shed on his toes still, you might want to just keep an eye on that.
