since others were sharing their pics, I thought I would share a couple of mine!
Here are my nothern blue tongues. I don't have them 100% sexed but I *think* and *hope* that they are 1.1 (we will soon find out when I put them together this spring!).
They don't have names really, I call them both "skinky" (yes, yes very original) and sometimes I refer to them as "girl skinky" and "boy skinky" (again with the wishful thinking). Anyways, here they are:
Here's my first skink. I think she's a she... and a BIG she at that. She is great for handling but loves to huff. I got her in early 2006 as a sub adult.
Here's my "male". I got him in early 2007. He is definately more social, will come up to the glass and get pets. Really seems to like human interaction.
here is what they are housed in. My husband made these two stackable units for me for my birthday / christmas present (I designed them of course!)
while the skinks are brumating, Dante, my little red tegu is currently occupying the top enclosure so that he has more exposure to people as they are in our living room (as opposed to keeping him in the reptile room where he wouldn't get as much daily interaction).
They are both Northern blue tongues and I really really hope I get babies because there are only two skink breeders that I know if in Canada, and neither of them ship. Most blue tongues that I have seen offered for sale in Canada are wild caught or farmed Indos and I really really want to change that!
thanks for looking!
