BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

So I've had my pair of BTSs for a month now, and they are wonderful really don't mind being handled, they enjoy a good chin scratch. Lulu, the smaller one, is a ferocious hunter and meat eater, s/he doesn't go for the vegies much but will if I mix them with a bit of dog food.
Phillip the big 'guy' is a little fussier with crickets and snails, will eat them but seems to prefer the fruit and vegies, that said, he has grown HEAPs in the last couple of weeks, I wish I'd weighed and measured them when I got them. He's a solid little guy, much heavier then Lulu. They get outside for a wander around, Lulu likes to burrow and hide in their enclosure, particularly under the water bowl but Phillip likes to bask out in the open. Both have has successful sheds, within one day of each other. They are both about 6 months old.[img][/img]

They look especially nice! They remind me of Mel's dark Northerns she produces. Good to see at least some Northerns over here do resemble their true ancestors over in the Oz.

Little Lulu is quite dark, Phil has really nice marking down his side. I have much better photos but I was trying to get them together to compare their sizes. I just believe how much weigh Phil has put on though, I hope I'm not causing an obesity problem!
