Not sure about the difficultly of other species, although the northern? bluetongues have been known for problems on their belly's, I think bigguy could help you there.
but there isnt much difference between the 2 class one species, except that the blotched blueys usually cost more.
A fisktank or large plastic container are excellent for babies, as the are easy to clean and monitor eating and faeces. They are also easier to clean |

| No, they most certainly do not. Bluetongues may, or may not, but I know that very many lizards don't, including many skinks.
