El Gordo!

Postby Zach » Fri Jul 27, 2007 10:33 pm

I can't believe this guy isn't taken yet....but I wanted to show this comparison to show what ONE shed does as these babies grow up (and) brighten up. You can also see how the black on the sides is developing more strongly too.

Check out the difference between this link and the below pictures:

I don't really have that many different ones. A lot of them look pretty much the same since I was trying to get a tongue shot. I'm not sure what the name of the other one you brought up was either.

I'll just post them here...hopefully El Gordo won't mind sharing his thread.....

How do you all get such good tongue shots. I am wondering if I need to get another camera

I took about 50 photos to get 3 decent tongue shots and quite a few blury shots and many many photos with no tongue at all. It also depends on the skink...Mamma very slowly opens her mouth, very slowly sticks out her tongue and very slowly pulls her tongue back. I could probably get 2 or three tongue shots every time she sticks it out, but the babies were flicking their tongue so fast it made getting a good tongue shot almost impossible. Sometimes it is just luck.
