After going through the whole show, I found three people that had blue tongues. One had two large ones, much older than I was looking for. And another guy had a two month old but it was a breed I had not heard of. I can not remember the name but it began with "G". That one was a bit skinny. The third guy had about twelve three week old Northerns. They seemed to be in good shape, they were all active and exploring the tank. I walked away and thought about it for a bit and was going to walk out without anything. But I made one fatal mistake. That was going back to the guy with the Northerns and asking to handle one.
While checking the skink's eyes, nose, appendages, and tail, I realized the darn thing was too *darn cute. I decided to take him(her) home. The guy had no idea about the sex of the animal, which does not bother me because I am not looking to go into breeding, I just want a pet. So with the sex unknown I decided on a non gender specific name.
Allow me to introduce my new blue tongue skink: Enigma
He(I have been referring to it as a he.) likes to bury himself in the aspen and stay there. Though when I put him back in his cage after handling him, he runs around for a bit and then goes right back to burying himself. I have enough aspen in the tank at the moment that he totally disappears and to find him, I have to look at the underside of the tank. (Guess who is getting a little less aspen in the tank when I redo it after the first cleaning.
) Is this normal skink behavior? Also trying to get him used to me so he does not keep hissing when I pick him up. I will keep you guys updated on his and my progress. 
Sorry for taking so long to post but I have not had the time till now.
Cypython and now Enigma
Grats on the new arrival!
That sounds just SO wrong.
