BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Ok This time they're Eastern BTS born today May 11th , Mothers day ! From female # 14 X male #6
This pair is so good at breeding I can barely get any pics of them, I usually have about five other pairs going at the same time, so I know they do what they are supposed to every year !
Jan 25th

Again on Feb 1st, 2nd and this pic on Feb 6th, and Feb 9th.

The fatty April 21st, she had to blink.

And today May 11. OMG ! She had them the same day last year , but only 3 babies then.


Sharing some placenta !







There were 13 baby Easterns this time.







Can you tell Easterns are my favorite .

I got tired of congratulating you on Northerns but a BIG CONGRATS on the first Eastern clutch!

F14 x M6 is a great combo -- have a glance at my female in the Eastern Photo Gallery (second entry down), that beauty is one of last year's F14 x M6 babies:

The babies are gorgeous. I love the pics you're posting. Keep them coming if you have the time.

Congratulations on all those babies! Easterns are my favorite too!

If they come out anything like Ophidiophile's female, this will be an awesome litter!

Nice looking easterns ray,how are the blotchies looking

They don't look pregnant at all, I don't have much hope for them this year !

Oh my, they are so stinking cute! It must be baby heaven at your place now.

Wow, they are lookers! Congrats You must be very busy!

Sometimes blotchies can hide it very well

does the mom ever get mad at the babies and want to bite them? my sister asked me to ask you

thanks

Stunning looking Easterns Ray!! Wow! Congrats !!

Dang Ray, that's shocking considering how mine are. In wondering if that has anything to do with their temperament. Mine are so cuddly and tame while yours tend to be more on the feral side. Do you think that could attribute anything to her behavior toward the baby? I remember you said to keep a Barrier between me and mom when getting babies out but that's never been an issue for us. Just curious.

So nice seeing baby Easterns! Congrats!!

Some females dont change in attitude when gravid or birthing,others turn into over protective nutcases,lots of variety in there behaviour,i have one shy female that if gravid never looks gravid,shes always very sleek babies or not but if gravid she isnt shy,instead shes charged at me from 6 metres away and very aggressivly attacks my shoes when im in outdoor cage,jekyl and hyde bluey that one

The majority of my females stay there usual self when gravid

Very interesting. Like I always say, ya learn something new every day. Thanks guys.
