Holiday Skink Thread

Postby Marie » Wed Dec 19, 2007 8:52 pm

Since Christmas is only a few days away, I think it would be fun if people shared photos of their skinks celebrating the season. I know I am not the only one who has photos that fit this category, so I expect that others will post their photos!

I'll get things started with a few classics:

"The Skink of Christmas Future"

Image


"One Skink Open Sleigh"

Image

"Christmas Angel"

I think beardies in general are easy to photograph. At least with mine, you can position her in a certain way, and she'll hold the pose forever.

Now let's see some other holiday photos!

That's no excuse, Jenn! My guys are all sleeping too. These are old pictures of the gang. I know you have old contest pictures too. There are lots of new members that haven't seen those pictures yet!

It's from a small stuffed animal. It's amazing what skink accessories you can find in the toy store. I bought Gargamel a tux at Toys R Us.

I remember those pictures of Maya. I also remember being super impressed at how well the antlers stayed on.

So I checked this thread from school and couldn't see the pictures because they are directly uploaded to the site, they are blocked.
I do have a few old Christmas one!

Christoper from last Christmas. Sadly even he's snoozing the winter away.

MARIE----Those pix are adorable. Love the "Skink of Christmas Future" from the bluey calendar! Your beardy (no offense!) kinda looks like the Grinch instead of Santa! Very cute! I would have one of those too if they weren't so cricket dependent---my FBT already necessitates frequent trips to the pet store!
SHADOWFAX----Those pictures of Maya are precious! How did you attach the antlers?
JENN---Find the picture of Stella and baby Jesus! My kids would love it! Might have to put Latte' in the middle of our nativity or Christmas village. What would I do without ya'll! My friends already think I'm skink crazy. At least I'm just one of the crowd on this forum!!!

That has to be the best Christmas Village ever! And looks like we have an extra wise man at the birth in the manger shot. :rofl: Priceless. 8)
