Great pic's! So, I guess it's safe to assume pink tongue's can be housed together with no problem?

They are smaller than blue tongues and far more arboreal- they'll make use of every inch of the cage and find a way to climb even on the smallest plants. They also eat snails primarily, but I've read reports of people feeding everything from cat food to baby food... they're extremely docile, only 1 of the 10 has given me any sort of display/hiss.

they are sooo cool! I love that they can live together!
I wish I could keep a bunch of blueys in the same cage

I would love to get a pink tongue one now too!

maybe... when Watson grows out of his current enclosure.. I will pass it on to a pinky? THEY are beautiful!
Congrats now I am going to start researching everything about these pinkys" )
