BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I've wanted a blue tongue skink for yeeeears. Finally got one from Jeff and I am very happy with my little turd.

My friend James said they look like corn. So I named "her" Corn. I am not good at naming things.



Anyways, I'm mostly a gecko person. My favorite species is the tokay gecko if that says anything.

Hope to harass you all for a while.

Bonus for Jeff:

Neener neener neener.

Welcome and congrats on your new bluey. Jeff produces some healthy and beautiful skinks.

Jeff is a great guy with a good sense of humor (thank goodness).

I'm really happy with the little one!

What a perfect little "neener" face.
Congratulations on your cutie!

That is a seriously good looking skink. Congratulations and welcome!

What an adorable little northern!
Welcome!

Thanks y'all. I'll flood the forums with lots of photos, I promise.

And I agree, I love this little thing. "She" is passed out in my lap right now.

Sabrina, you should really put the skink away and let it settle in for a few days at least. Its had a traumatic weekend

Yup. I know the procedure. I only had her out because I need to put her in a bigger tank and to get some food off her.

Ok cool.

Yes and no, I think sometimes we anthropomorphise too much with blueys. They are what they are, unless it is showing clear signs of stress (which they often do after a few minutes out) I wouldn't worry about it. They get over things pretty quick. As a poster on this site once wrote they are not "mamby pamby animals" hehe My personal experience is that CB born and raised animals just accept handling etc as a part of life. If it were WC that would be a different matter.

The animal was out on display at a reptile show for the last few days. I'm figuring it probably needs some time to itself

Absolutely gorgeous little skink! Do you have any idea of its age?

Lovely little Northern! Welcome to the forum. I'm definitely a skink person but my husband shares your passion for tokays. Awesome lizards.

I agree, whether or not you took a blood sample from the skink to analyze, no one knows how stressed he is.

Jeff would be the one to ask.

Hey now, she was only there Saturday (unless he set up Friday). I made sure to get her before someone else did.

Great skink from a great guy! Thanks for sharing.
