BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

No, not another poltergeist movie!!
Jubby!! and Ralphie!!

Not surprising really, it’s 25C outside. But clucking bell it’s windy!! Or maybe he heard me telling you’s all that he was going to be the loser in the Super Winter Sleepstakes. Either way this is Jubby’s first outing since June.

Shhh…..quietly now…. a little closer…… YESSS! A sighting!!


Confirmed!!


Me wanty outy


Me wanty back inny


No wait.. Me wanty outy again


Jub: Pleeeese Mum, just for a li’l while?
Lis: No! Too windy! Now go away, I’m supposed to be working!


But wait, there’s more!! No, not a another set of steak knives …. It’s Ralphie!!!
Pipped by Jubber by about one hour, but he was out a bit over winter so we’ll call it a tie for 2nd place.
(They get a plant for their tank to the value of one whole dollar!)





Can’t forget Santos. Asleep in his room all curled up in a Ferrari flag. As all good lizards should!


I’m not rushing them, it’s only August after all. But it was good to see the big man again, I’ve missed him. Ralphie seems in good nick, too, even looks like he’s lost a little weight which is good.

Not long now and the lazy hazy summer weekends out back with a drinky-poo, coupla lizards, radio on, the crack of leather on willow, sun beating down.... aahhh, not long now at all

This is Austraya! Can't walk to the shops for tripping over them (slight exaggeration there )
But if it's any consolation, there's heaps of overseas animals I'd love to keep but we're not allowed.

Great pictures mate!

Exactly, so i guess its fair!

Good to see the crew up and walking Lisa,in that first Jubby shot, he's thinking "I pop my head out after anice kip, and there she is with that bleedin' camera"

Santos is a cool character from the looks of him!
I had a great big bluey and a lovely shingle visit me today, it was the first time i had actually touched a shingle...only ever seen them on tv, pics etc. She was so great im now wanting one!

As excited as I am to see your guys, it always means the cold weather is on the way for us. Though the way the temps have been lately that's not a bad thing!

Is that a dog in the "No wait.. Me wanty outy again" pic?

yay! Jubby is back!

Lisa you never fail to impress with your couple of blue tongues and a whole lotta humour to pack in the post, theyre looking great!!!

Lisa, I love your skinks! And Jubby's enclosure is great! What size tank is that?

What the heck?? You two are talking in this picture...is that you in the flash?? There's a face in the flash on the window!

I don't see what you are talking about, Zach. I do see the dog in the picture Marie mentioned though

Holy cow That is creepy, looks like the TV. If you look two slats up from Jubby's head and then over one space to the right you see a smiling head.

The picture before the face one you can see a dog trotting away from the door.

Haha, I love your commentary! Great to see your guys again!

Yes, that's my dog, Diesel. But he's blind so he's got no idea that Jubby's the other side of the door. He went to the vet yesterday and he's also got dementia We're going to try him on a drug, but it only helps in 50% of cases. And even then it's no cure, it just helps him get back to normal sleeping habits, less wandering and standing in corners etc. Poor old bugger. I'm struggling to decide if his quality of life is good enough.

Yeah Leigh, always wit' the camera!! I don't like to take too many inside which is why they're usually crap. Outside I'll take a hundred to get just one good one!!

Mom22wins, it's a 4x2 foot tank. I have Ralphie in a 3x2, but I think the 4x2 is the way to go.

And to you people seeing faces in flashes ??? What the??? You really shouldn't buy your drugs from people on street corners

Jub was up again yesterday and I had him outside for a little bit. He's a bit on the grumpy side. He wasn't last year so I'll have to have words with him.

Glad to see the gang. Don't be too hard on Jubby. He just has the movie star complex going!!! (And rightfully so!)

akh i saw that face to lol, wow, maybe i should rethink things, those are some really good pictures though, and thats sad to hear about your doggy lisa i hate it when it gets like that with animals...
