¨Unique¨Blue tongue Skinks????

Postby garciareptiles » Mon Jun 18, 2007 12:57 pm

Hi,

I have a question. I´ve bought a couple of white(snow) Blue tongue Skinks and I wan´t to know if this is very special because I´ve never seen something like these animals.

Please let me know something

Best regards

Those look like silver Tanimbars to me but I'm no expert.

Who did you buy them from? I would go with Tanimbar also from those pictures. Not especially unique these days.

Were they sold to you as some sort of morph? Like you said "Snow Skinks" Or "White Blue Tongues"?

It would be interesting to see what people are marketing these days to move an animal, making people think they have something super uber rare.

:noknow:

Those are Silver Tanimbars. Appear healthy at that.
