BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Yep, this is a thread about me. Well, kind of. I just had so much to share I thought I'd throw it all in one thread.

Anyway, so Tuesday my new little Egyptian Tortoise will be here. I can't wait for Spud. That day I'll also be receiving.....my new Tanny from Ray (her name will be Paige)....and........my new Eastern (also from Ray). I figured out a way to fit a 5th bluey and Jeanne has been stalking me trying to convince me to get an Eastern. She's been sending me PMs, emails and leaving messages on my answering machine. I also suspect she's responsible for an anonymous package I received in the mail the other day. It was a compass with the needle stuck on East. Then she enlisted the help of her hubby and he's been posting pics of his gorgeous Easterns. So I caved.

So now I need help picking a name for my Eastern. Ray thinks it's maybe a male so I'm looking at male names - of course from the show The Charmed Ones. So here are the list of choices Edward helped me come up with:

Wyatt
Leo
Kyle
Andy
Shax
Barbas
Zankou


I'm stumped.

Also, today was our monthly reptile show. It should be illegal for there to be ATMs within a 5 mile radius of shows. I got some silkies, waxworms, a temp setup for my Eastern, some nice pieces of wood and a new cage for my crested.

There were quite a few IJ babies there. This one guy had an adult Gigas - not sure if Indo or Gigas. It was huge!!!! I think I've seen it there before
so if it's there next month I'll check it out more closely.

Surgery Wednesday and I've got my lineup of DVDs all ready: season one of Monk, Harry Potter Trilogy, Oceans 11 & 12, Spiderman 1 & 2 are the first DVDs I plan to watch - with plenty more on standby if need be.

So that's me. Now this thread can be about you.

I like the name Zankou! I can't believe you got 3 blueys this year AND an Egyptian Tort....lol! You're so funny, it took you forever to decide that Phoebe would be OK if you got another bluey, and now you're going to have 5!!! That's totally awesome. I'm thinking about getting a Northern....we'll see!

Cute little babies!

Leo is cool!

Wow! Your family is growing so quickly! I have been looking at Ray's Easterns and Northerns, I have to say I am really tempted. Spud is ADORABLE! I t is hard to believe they start out so tiny!

Best of luck with youer surgery! My thoughts will be with you!

Awwww -- I especially like the pretty eastern. And the turtle's cute too.....ok, I admit it, I LOVE THEM ALL!

Oh and I forgot, I vote for Wyatt. But no one chooses my names...

I think I am feeling sorry for myself today.

Phoebe finally said it was okay because she knows that she was the first and she is the boss!

You should get a Northern. Ray has some nice ones. Or you can get one of Piper's siblings!

Stacey...you need a Northern too.

OK I KNOW IT'S A TORTOISE!! But turtle is easier to type and since I don't have to be technical until my thesis defense on Friday......I'm going with easy. Tiger, your small reptilian tetrapod hatchling with an armored shell is very appealing to the eye!!!

You can always type "Tort". That's even shorter and easier.

Ahhhhhh, good idea--that way the CareBear gods stay appeased.

Mike is so cute.

GOOD LUCK on Wednesday. I've had to have 3 surgeries in the last year and a half. And 2 of them were on my foot. So I know how hard it is to be laid up for awhile. Just make sure that someone is around to pamper ya!!!


All of your babies are too cute. Spud, OMG!!

You have a monthly reptile show??? We only have one a year and that is down in Denver. We did go to the Colorado Reptile Rescue open house yesterday. Alot of Iggys, turtles and a few torts. They have a wonderful Sav. Monitor. And alot more that need homes. NO BTS!!

It was really neat to go and check out the place. They just built a 6,000 Sq. foot outdoor enclosure for the torts. The main building is an older house, sit on about 2 acres. All done by donations and volunters. Amazing.
