BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Freckles just finished shedding this morning, so we got out in the sunshine and took some pics. I "thought" we would try for some flower pics but I think I'll need a couple hundred more to find one I'd think was good enough to enter in a contest. But here's a few we took today.

"Hmmm...where was that dried up dog poo?"


"Ok, ok, stop putting me back here. I'll pose for 5 seconds so make it quick!"


"There...I sniffed it. Ya happy now?"


She even gave me the obligatory tongue shot!

Freckles is such a photogenic skink. You'll have no problem getting a good contest photo. In fact, any one of those would do quite well.

Freckles!! Sooo pretty with the "new skin" on I love the shot of "flower sniffin'" ...very cute!

Great lookin animal!!

Very cool face on that Skink looks ORSM

Wow. Yummy. Your lizard is a feast of chocolate and caramel. Me wanty.

Yeh they're all good, I'm sure you'll get your comp shot soon enough.

Such beautiful red/orange colours!

No, you can't eat my Freckles Lisa! He kinda would look good sitting on top of a dish of ice cream though, wouldn't he?

Thanks all!

I wish I hadn't been so sick right before he shed. He was the freakiest color. He was all pink and gray. He looked like a ghost skink. But it was short lived and I didn't even get a pic of it.

Ummm Ian, you're going to have to translate for me..what is OSRM???

Of all of the blue tongues I have seen on this page since I've been a member, I think Freckles is in the top 3 for the best looking. I just love her colors. Beautiful!

She is gorgeous...I am so envious of everyone's tongue shots....I have yet to get one of LittleFoot, I have dozens of him closing his mouth though.

Your freckles is so very handsome! Keep the pics coming!

I have been working long hours and haven't been online for awhile so I have a lot of catching up to do.
This is the first thread I clicked on and WOW...
Freckles is GORGEOUS!!
Beautiful photos!!
Hope all is well with you and yours!!

Thanks Russman for the HUGE compliment! There are so many pretty ones, I think I'd even have a tough time saying she was in the top 3. Nah, probably not, but then I'm "mom". Funny thing is, we bought her as an "extra" when we got our first, and she's actually the stunner of the two.

Littlefoot, I have a million of those too. I finally gave up "trying" to catch it and now I seem to get them more easily. Also I think I'm learning their reactions to noise, movement, wind. I'm getting better at timing it right. Outside their little tongues go wild!

Jeanne!!! It's so good to hear from you! I've been bad and not emailing ANYONE lately, been sick and blah. I see you've still got cages left. Might have to make another trip up your way.

Wings just shed last night, so I have to get some new photos of him too in the next couple of days.

Don't worry, he'll turn ghost-like before he sheds every time.

And you'd better enter the contest! Those are all great!

great looking skinky.

by the way, OSM or ORSM = awesome.
