New Bluey (Pics)

[jvalde55]

Hello, just wanted to introduce myself and my new bluey Elvis. He/She is a Halmahera Blue Tongue, not exactly sure how old but he/she can't be all that old, my best guess would be no older than a month. Let me know what you guys think. Also going to add a picture of the enclosure so you guys can also comment on that. He/She is a bit huffy puffy when I take him/her out of the enclosure but I'm assuming it will go away with time, I am just excited I finally got my first bluey!

Looks like a great skink and good enclosure too.

Congrats on your new BTS. Little Elvis looks magnificent!
I don't know what types of lamps you have there, but are you able to achieve the correct temperature gradient with the fixtures so close to the middle of the tank? Your set-up looks great; that would be the only question/suggestion I would have.

I agree with Susann, I keep my lamps on one side (hot side with basking rock) and keep the water on the side with no lamps (the cool side). But what a little cutie Elvis is!!!

I want you to give me this skink. Okay?

Agreed with the others, you may want to adjust your lights so they're to one side, creating more of a gradient.

Cute little booger, congrats on your new baby!!

The lamp in the middle is a UVB bulb doesn't give out to much heat, but ill go ahead and move it closer to the left thanks guys for the comments and advice!!

If your temps are good there is no need to move the lamps. Whatever achieves the right temperature gradient is what you need to do. If your cool side is in the upper 70's - lower 80's, and warm side is around mid - upper 90's, with a basking spot in the low 100's, you're all set.
