BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I haven't had time to take any pictures for awhile, so I thought I would get a few while I had a minute. Sorry for my lack of photography skills. I hope to learn to take pictures some day.

Morgan:




Ginger:
Both of my orange females are in the white phase right now, so they don't look good at all. This is what they look like 7-10 days before they shed.




Sophia:




Stella:




BF1:




Alex:





Cyx (Alex's mom):





I decided to try taking these pictures in dirt. The only place I have dirt is in part of my leopard tortoise area. Of course every time the tortoises see me they assume I have food so they come runninig. It was a challenge trying to get these pictures with tortoises trying to climb my legs. Of course, once they realized I didn't have anything for them, they went back to what they do the rest of the time.

Gorgeous skinks you have!
And i also like the turtles looks great

It blows my mind that those animals live 90 minutes from my front door

Amazing skinks! Jeff you have a great collection they all look amazing. I wouldn't classify Ginger as an orange northern though, more like blood red love to see her after shed. How does Mickey look in comparison to Ginger? Thanks for sharing and don't be shy to post more pics they will be appreciated. Thanks!

Great collection

Really nice - all of them! And if that's what Ginger looks like when she's in her ugly pre-shed phase, I think I'd need sunglasses to view her after her shed!

ALEX!!! <3

super photos!

all looking great jeff

Morgan is perfect! I'd love one like that

Wow, a feast for the eyes! I greatly admire your Northerns, and those eye-banded Easterns are positively swoon-worthy, but the rugosa have my heart. Such sharply contrasting patterns.

Alex remains the sweetest-looking lizard I've ever seen. Just look at those peepers! *darn, you got two exclamation points out of me--a rare feat, indeed.

Thanks for sharing,

David

Nice diverse group Jeff.

What do you use to polish the Blotchies?

Mickey, Ginger, and Jessica are all very similar in color. They just change far more than the other northerns as they progress through the shed cycle. I'll try to remember to take another picture of Ginger after she sheds.

Usually a little bit of Turtle Wax polishes them up well. I always buff it out by hand though. Bad experience with the power buffer in the past.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Awesome animals! Alex is so cute

Great Skinks Jeff, I like offcours the Shingless the most but some blotch one day
The pardalis look great also, but the male need a few years.LOL
I missed the platynota

Alex is the sweetest looking thing The blotchie is awesome also.... heck they are all awesome looking!

They're all gorgeous! You have such an amazing collection. It's also nice to see that Charlie's mom is doing well.
