Hi everyone, i'm mike and i just joined the forum today. I Recently got 2 blueys from someone who had bought gravid females by accident. I have been into herps for a while with a breeding pair of ball pythons, their eggs are hatching, turtles, i use to have bearded dragons, leopard geckos, even toads. So the blue tongues are my next choice. I am hopeing to go to grad school soon for conservation biology, so i can become a professional herpetologist.
Can't wait to learn even more about these awsome lizards!
New guy.

If you get a cactus pad that has been recently been pulled from the main part of the cactus (at least with prickly pear variety) you can plant them and they will grow roots in and grow. This has been helpful for me with the torts and now with Littlefoot...he loves the prickly pear fruit and some chopped up pads....next time he eats it i'll have to take a pic, it looked like he had red lipstick on.

These two I grew from the fruit bearing one, I did this last year and that is how much they grew. I don't normally keep them in the garage but the kids were washing the car and didnt want them soaked and soaped.
I am going to transplant them into the yard soon. They have very fine needles that you have to watch out for...I scrape them off with a knife before feeding.
