BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

A few seasons ago, a couple of axanthic looking blueys were born out of a litter of Kimberley Northerns that I have. Those babies didn't make it. I have been waiting for them to raise their heads in later litters, and this season one has turned up. I actually had the mother out on breeding loan and a male that was related to her was put over her. Anyway, here it is. Still hasn't had its first slough yet. Hopefully I can get it to survive this time.







And what they looked like last time compared to a normal sibling.


cheers,
Dave.

That bluey looks cool, Congrats.

Awesome! The axanthic gene is awesome. We actually have axanthic Northerns in the US, too, but not Kimberley's..

Nice one,hopefully it makes it,be interesting to see how it develops,look at that dark eye,very cool

Old Jinjajoe photo bombed my thread on this over at APS, but that forum went offline not long after...hahahahahahhaha.

Don't bother going to have a look, that forum is still MIA.

Hope all goes OK for the little tacker. Would be good to see more of this morph around.

Very nice. It would be cool to see what it looks like as it grows and progresses...
(hint, hint - keep us updated)

That bts has really dark eyes! That looks nothing like a Northern bts! Congrats, I know you are paying close attention to this one! I hope it lives past the age the other one died.

Hahaha,joe busted aps

Its had its first slough, it now looks a bit brighter.







And in breaking news, another one turned up in a litter born last night. I'll start a different thread for it.

Hmmm,dave,your newest one is from some bloodline as my prince regent female,jor mentioned to me recently something genetic about them when i posted a pic of my palest hold back from her,im pretty sure none of mine have come out like your two from word go with dark eyes,but a couple have light grey looking eyes as apposed to the normal orangey brown,might have to have a closer look

There's the new one, no time at the moment to do an in depth post. Will get to it later tonight.

Cheers,
Dave.

Here's the link to the other thread.

Very cool Dave.

I see some true snow blue tongues on the way in the near future. Technically they would have to be eastern x northern (I haven't heard of any axanthic easterns), but seeing that bridge has already been crossed with the albinos I can't see it stopping anyone from here.

I'm not quite ready to call it yet, but this pure Eastern is promising for the same sort of mutation.

Wow what a contrast. They both look amazing

The eastern look the goods Dave.

Rory is it just the pictures or are the eyes on these guys black. They look like the eyes on the T+ Caramel Northerns we have here that are produced by Ray.

Amazing ! There must be something in the water over there. Kimberly Northern and Easterns that are what ...
what are they , do you think they are axanthic or something else . Either way they are all very cool, wish I had some of them .
