As I was sitting at my computer, being all bored-like, I was thinking, which is the most common species kept here?
I know *alot* of you are in the USA so I'd imagine blue tongue's aren't that common over there (if they are, feel free to correct me :D)
I'll be gettin my first blue tongue, n she's an eastern (pretty sure anyway).
Since I'm new, I'm not really aware of who has what and thought this poll would be an interesting way to find out :D
Uhmm and if you own more then one species, maybe just put the species you own the most of or your favourite :P Thanks!

Blue tongues are common the U.S, but not as common as bearded dragons and other lizards (leopard geckos, etc)

The most common in the states are the Northern, IJ, Indo, Eastern, and Tanimbar.

And you can actually vote for you fav on the very top thread! I'll bet you're excited about getting your's....are you having a hard time with all the licensing? That seems to be a big topic lately.

EXTREMELY excited :D My friends are gettin realllly annoyed with hearing about it, they just dont understand :(

I read some info Jane gave me about licences to do with Victoria (my state) and we don't need licences for Blotched or Eastern blue tongues! I also asked the guy where I'm getting her from and he confirmed that I don't need a licence for her.
I'm planning on still gettin a licence though because I think I'll want another lizard for my birthday :P

Jadey, I was actually wondering today what the most commonly owned species is by members of this forum myself. ;)

Jadey, actually, you can't get the Kei Island! :cry2:

They're an Indonesian variety of blue tongue.

And those numbers mean, like 1.3.5 - that would mean one male, three female, and 5 of unknown gender. :)

Aww they are so pretty! Oh well, I'll survive :D
Maybe I'll get a Blotched, they have interesting blotchy patterns:P

Hehe, I have seen many blotched blue tongues near my beachhouse, they are rather pretty :D Hopefully they won't be too hard to find to buy. I havent seen any for sale, only seen eastern babies! I need to find some breeders in my area but have no idea how :?
Anyway, yes, I think I'll either get a Blotched bluetongue, or maybe a Centralian, or, um, just another blue tongue :D ahah

Heheh not my fault you live alllll the way over in the USA :P
Say, if someone came from the USA on a holidays to Australia, is it legal to buy one here and take it back? Would the bluetongue even be able to handle the flight back there?!
Ahh I'm so not smart with these things hehe

If you have more than one species, can you vote more than once, or is that not allowed?

It would only let me vote for one type!!!! I voted northern because I have two of them and only one Kei Island.

Can only vote once.

Jadey... no, you can't! Can't bring in, or take out of AU. No exceptions, they're very strict. :shock:

I voted for Rocky, because I don't have two of a kind, but then I thought maybe I should have voted for easterns because I've had lots of those. I didn't think of that before though!
