Here are a few pics , these are about to drop sometime this month . They did not eat yet this week, so they are not as plump as they should be. This is 7 out of 17 female Northerns that are expecting.

It was produced here in 05 its parents were N-F3 X M4,5 . It is now F#10 she had 6 babies last year, for some reason I end up keeping the oddball from any clutch . I just cant get rid of them (or sell ) because there is always that voice in my head saying " what if ?"
I keep it , sell it , breed it ?
I have to find out the outcome !

Thanks very much Ray :) Im pretty confident that my female is gravid as she has ballooned in the short time that I have had her, but I havent seen a gravid blue in the flesh before so its hard to tell for certain...is it normal for some of the skinks to be larger than others, as some of your pics show? Does that mean that they will have larger litters? Or are they just smaller animals? Lol, I know that sounds silly, but some of them look so much fatter than the others!

What did the parents look like? How about her siblings? And do the babies look like the mom? She's fascinating, so different from the others.
