BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Here are some pics of my bluey, some old and some new.















Sorry for all the pics, I'm just a proud mother.

He is SO BIG! He looks very healthy and happy. Great shots!!!

And what a big chin, as well!

What a monster! He's huge!
(and quite well fed! )

he's a big boy. Do you think he's overweight. I just bought smaller food bowels thought about cutting him down a lil but I thought I'd ask professionals. I feed him every other day. I think I was lucky with him because I got him from a pet store and other than shedding problems at first the vet said he was fine. I have to take him for another check up soon. Well anyway let me know if you think I should use the smaller bowls I don't want him to get fat and lazy
Thanks

Maybe a little, but I'm not an expert.

He's so big! How long is he exactly?

he is 25 and a half inches

What a monster! He is absolutely beautiful. As for being over weight, Im not sure. I would say maybe a little, but it looks like he is big framed to begin with.

That is nearly 65cm for anyone operating in metric.

wow! he is HUGE!

very awesome.


i think this pic looks like a moray eel (ignore the feet of course)

Wow.

I'd say the guy is a tad overweight as opposed to "obese." I think a good diet, skipping every other day (or feeding every two days if you're already every other day) should help out...

He's absolutely beautiful, and looks like a blast to hang out with... Do people pretty much freak out when they see him?

KW

when I take him for walks outside in his box he pokes his head out to see outside and people think he's a snake. Generally people don't really come near him if they don't know him but my friends love him

what species is he?

he looks like a gentle giant. whats his personality like?

I don't know what species he is he may be merauke he likes to climb on people, he's nosy he likes to know whats going on, he loves to run around, he likes to listen to nature sounds on my ipod he lays next to the speakers and falls asleep.

aww how cute!

What a WHHOOPPEERR!!!!!!, You could use him as a draft excluder You mentioned about using the smaller bowl, were you using a washing up bowl before, only joking, is he into SUMO nice mix of colours, and we all love photos!!

mg: He's a MONSTER! I'm not sure I'd call him completely overweight. 25" is gigantic for a skink, so he obviously has a big build. What do you feed him?

he eats a lil of everything he has a varied diet. cat food, superworms, snails, fruits his fave being blueberries. veggies canned and fresh. he eats waxworms on occasion not alot though. I'm getting into silkworms and live snails now so thats new to him. hes had one hard boiled egg. when I first got him he didn't really eat the veggies I gave to him but now he eats at least three different things everytime I feed him.

the funny thing is at the pet store I got him from they had two there I picked him because he was the smallest of the two I wonder how big the other one got

ok well that is prob one of the biggest Merauke ive seen. Great pics. I cant beileve hes 25 inch. How long have you had him? and if you dont mind me asking what petstore did you get him from? was he like that hwen you got him?
