BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

i saw a centralian at a local pet shop today and i was blown away by how big it was!

i had seen a few before but only the size of easterns with big bellies yet this one was the longest ive seen and the widest! it would've been about 6 and a half inches WIDE! (thats 16cm's for all those not in the USA like me who use the metric system)


i want him!

Then get him, then post pics so we can all marvel at his enormus, enormusness.

Yeah what she said!!

Go for it mate, at least get a shot of the little tank, hey you could call him sherman

Maybe its a she and she's preggo!

Then you could send me a baby.. FOR FREE!

haha i would love it but i have nowhere to put it!


i was just amazed at how big it was, i was buying pinkies for my snake so i probably wont be in there for a while!


An update on my skinky though, yoshi the eastern grew 3cm's (or just over an inch) in one shed cycle lasting a month! he's now 5 months old and 26.5cm or 10inches.

ill have to get some pics soon!

You should come to the US. We get some whoppers. Centralians are normally considered a SMALL species

A true BTS lover would not let that stop them, you have a bed right? Get rid of that useless thing and put a couple cages there then you can just stay up all night and post pictures. Sleep is overr ated anyway.

*darn, why is my eastern so small?
He is 5 months too but only about 6 inches, he's so small compared to his brother.

Easterns don't get gigantic. I think Rollie isn't growing much anymore and is a hair under 17 inches.

My eastern Stella is just about 18 inches and Saphira is about 17 inches. They don't have lenght or weight of the northerns. Saphira also seem to take longer to reach her adult length compared to my northerns.

Personally I'm happy about that; the housing options are a bit more open that way.

KW

so centralians are wider than most and easterns are smaller than most?

Small is fine with me but i don't know why one is so much bigger than the other...he's like a dwarf skink, lol.
His head is so small and he isn't very solid either, is that normal?
His brother looks months older than him.

Kris

could just be a small skink? you get that with alot of animals, just might be short dont pester him! you might hurt his feelings

Nah he's cute coz he's so little, big personality so i don't mind....just hope there is nothing wrong with him.

Kris

well im sure whatever it is, he will be a good skinky and will bring many laughs forever and ever

Are you watching who's eating what when you feed them? I might start feeding him outside of the cage and away from his brother to make sure he's getting enough to eat.
