BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

My first litter was finally born yesterday.











There are from this pairing.


132 days since first mated.
129 days since last mated. There are ten in the litter. She had only three last season( her first breeding).
I was very surprised she gave birth first, I didn't think she was that close and was nowhere near as large as some of my other gravid girls. She sure put everything into this litter though.

Cheers

Wow! Congrats they look healthy and beautiful. The mom is stunning also I love the light colors.

They look fantastic Rory, congratulations! I am generally surprised by who gives birth first every year. It is NEVER the one I expect.

Great work. Mum's looking a little deflated

Wow please ship all of these to my home. In Canada.

Bout time,lol,thought they must be close,judging by the parents they should develop into very nice looking specimens,you should get inundated with babies now,lol

I received her in Jan 2011 as a new born.

She is the one in the middle. which makes her nearly three years old now. She bred for the first time last season(which she gave birth to only 3).

Had another Kimberley give birth today. Got a few pictures as she squeezed another one out.



























After seeing the pictures it reminds me that she is due for a nail clip.
129 days from first mating.
117 days from last mating.
Only mated on the two occasions.

Nice. A couple of the babies have very interesting patterns. They look like a zipper down the back.
