BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Hello everyone long time lurker. Wanted to thank everyone that is involved with this site it's a great place. I have loved reptiles my whole life I have had from monitors to pythons and tortoises. I even bred bearded dragons for tree years up until I meet my wife which at the time was terrified of animals. Nine years later and I have two beautiful babies and a tolerable wife so I am getting back into it. I have a Pardalis Pardalis Leopard tortoise and just purchased two amazing northerns from Jeff (Jeff is a great person to do business with very easy to work with and has beautiful animals. He is always praising others for their work but his knowledge, experience, and his animals are top notch).
I was first in Jeff's waiting list and was lucky enough to purchase two stunning beauties from him. Thanks Jeff for not holding these gems back and allowing me to purchase them. I have named them Blaze and Sunshine. Blaze seems like he is going to be special, bright reds and oranges throughout can't wait to see him as an adult, and sunshine who is currently shedding has bright yellow with nice dark contrasting bands. Enough talk here are some pictures of Blaze.
Thanks,
Ron

Beautiful skink!!!

Congrats, Northerns are the best IMO!

Are you housing these guys outside?

I want to house my guys outside, but I'm rather nervous about doing so.. I think I may do it in a couple of year.. not sure.

welcome to bts.net

nice looking northerns

No I keep them indoors, however I have a pen I put them in when I'm working in the yard so they can bask.

Came home today to find sunshine in shed and after a little help she looked so beautiful I had to take some updated pictures. You can notice from the first pictures how much they have grown. They love the warmth from my driveway.

both looking great,they are growing well,safe to say they have settled in well

thanks for sharing

I love seeing how they develop. I hope you will keep updating them as they grow. They both look great, and the pictures of them together really shows how orange Blaze is.

They Are Beautiful. I Love My Northerns (All Eight Of Them). They Make Amazing Pets imo.

Oh wait! You have G.p.p's? I need to hear more about those. I have some G.p.b''s, (and some stars) but would love some pardalis. Please start a thread about your torts!

Those are all nice looking!

Blaze is gorgeous!

Thank You! Blaze is gorgeous! Sunshine is also beautiful and is super tame and gentle. My three year old loves to pet and hold her and she just let's him do whatever he wants. Looking forward to see them grow.

Love their colors! They are really gorgeous animals!
