Which is your favorite form of Blotched Blue Tongue Skink?

[Blotch]

Hey all,

I've noticed alot of people seem to disregard the Lowland form of blotchies. So I decided to run a poll. I also want everyone that votes on the poll, to put in a reason as to why they prefer either one.

Just for newbs, Here's a pic of one of each.

Alpine:

Lowland:

And my vote goes to the Lowlands (Obviously).

Reason behind this is the clarity of the face and Patterns that the lowlands have.

When comparing Lowlands to alpine you will find that lowlands generally have more detailed patterns whereas the Alpine forms have less pattern (more black). Granted the speckled faces and yellow is nice, but IMO The clean faces of the Lowlands are much nicer. Also, with lowlands, they too display nice colouring. Peach, blue/grey, orange. As well as that, Lowlands are a sleaker form.

Both are great, Don't get me wrong, butt my preferred form is the lowland.

Personally, I'd go with the Alpine. Not that I've ever seen any in person. But I like the speckles, and the darker overall back. To me the alpine is dark with light splotches, where as the lowland is light with dark outlines of splotches. I also really love the pink and orange colors, no matter what form. I think we also need more pictures of lowland, as most of what we see is alpine on the forum, which probably biases the whole forum. Blotch, it's now your job to make sure many more lowland pictures come out and show em off, then redo the vote.

It's funny, Normally when people are talking about how "pretty" a Bluey is it's do do with the patterns. With Alpine Blotchies, it seems it's the basic colouring of black with splotches of yellow rather than the markings.

I really like the alpine because of the yellow tones and specifically the radiant pink/red they are capable of....granted, I really haven't seen nearly as many lowland as I have highland.

I definetly prefer the speckling on the face of the alpine blotchies

Alpine heads coz I'm a Ralphie fan, but lowland pattern across the back, you should of put a both box mate

I'm with Leigh. Both are my choice. Maybe next time you could post a really pretty one and an ugly one??

[Fatal_S]

Are there ugly blotchies?

[shingleback aus]

[Tattoo]

Are there ugly blotchies?

I doubt it

[Blotch]

nope - all of them are cool! the ugliest skink is by far the Monkey tail. They look Stupid. well in comparison to a bluey I reckon they do. But I'm prolly bias.
