Yeah, I love their faces and expressions. That's why I'm so addicted to taking face shots.

Oh, I didn't even think of their whole face! I agree with you guys--the looks on their faces is absolutely priceless! When Mooch is hungry he'll just stare at me through his tank. And sometimes when I hold him and talk to him he'll raise his head up and look at me. Sometimes we have a staring contest :wink: What funny face things do your skinks do?

I love when they look up at you. Oleev always looks so curious when he does that, like "what does the crazy lady want now?" I also really like it when only his head is peeking out of the substrate, he looks like a skink-less head :lol:.

Yeah, that's hard, but I picked the blue tongue. I know, so typical. :oops: :lazy:

I really like the tails too -- Enzo's for example...and the long Merauke tails.

Baylee is the best for tiping his head back and forth and looking at me like he's really trying to understand what I'm talking about.

Now that's a tough question!!!! Their sexy little stubby legs are of course one of my favorites. I too love their expressions and looks. But I went with the scales. I really love their smooth snake-like scales. That's why I won't get a beardie and I think I've changed my mind about a Uro....love those smooth scales!!!

As most of you already know, I love their tails. Especially the little stubby ones of Centralians and Westerns.

Same. Love the fat little tails!

What about their entire body shape in general? That's my favorite physical aspect of them.

since i couldn't choose face i chose mouth because i think it's so adorable when reptiles yawn. plus the mouth encompasses the tongue so i got a two in one with that. i love it most when pup just sits with the tip of his tongue out.

Sprout did that when he was little, but hasn't for a long time. I agree it is adorable

They kind of remind me of the pads dogs and cats have on the bottom of their feet :) I like that, too.

I love their curiousity. The poking you none stop, trying to get under your hand and nudging your hand out of the way, and of course their blue tongue.
