    Shingle back, only cause they are not as common... we have blue tounges everywhere.
    I see more blue toungs than wild mice.

    shinglebacks. I've never kept either, but Shinglebacks are very very high on my list of reptiles I need. Also known as the ""Will seriously consider eating nothing but 2 minute noodles for as long as it takes to afford these" list.

    They're both bluetoungues... but anyway,

    What species of bluetoungue, centrallian, western, eastern, northern? I have a stumpy but would take a centrallian anyday.
    Two wrongs don't make it right, but 2 rights will make a U-turn.

    On second thoughts, I don't see shingles up for sale very often, so you should definitely get a bluey. (Then I can snap up the Shinglebacks if they're available!!) MUAHAHAHA!!!

    Personally I would take a bluey,though theres not much difference in basic care.shingles are more tricky to handle,and I'm not talking about the bitey end
