BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Wow,

I have great news. I have several litters of Silver Tanimbars and Northerns.

I selected two babies from Ray Northern female 2 and male 2 which I thought would be really interesting adults. They have large - clear bands which I thought would be interesting to see as adults. The female is approximately 2 years old - maybe three? I have to check my records and bred with Milt - the old D. Fergusson skink lines 18 years ago. (Ray will remember this guy won't he? lol) The near Kimberley speckling on Milt is going to be quite interesting to see on the babies. I wonder if it will be a blend or it's a recessive trait? Who knows.

I have pictures but I need to crop them - they are TOO large so I'll work on that today as well. I was too excited to get them ready before writing this. Sorry to keep you waiting on the pictures.

You got that right Leigh!

But to be serious - I deeply apologize for keeping you all waiting.

Here are a few pictures.

I need to redo them as they aren't as nice as they should be.

For this particular litter I found 8 stillborn! I'm not surprised it was a rough year for them as many of you know.

Here's another few

I'll try to redo this one with the focus on the head of the little guy.

They sure like to jump towards you. I'll tell you one thing. It's REALLY CUTE to see an entire litter flashing their tongues and going TOWARDS you as opposed to Easterns that seem to never flash their tongues at all.
