the redness on a cpl of there noggins isnt scarring from male combat ect is it,looks like what ive seen in a few,especially alpines with light head coloring,i still think alpines are the ducks guts in the looks department blotch wise,but some of the lowlands forms are very nice to,i especilly love the pale heads on your new ones joe,that males them look alot different to mainland lowlands color wise,but some tassie stock is identical in appearance to vic,sa lowlands,maybe they are tassies version of the alpine blotch,as some ive seen have a nice yellowish contrast

These guys really are awesome in the flesh, and have a good disposition compared to most other Blotchy's. There were some legally collected from Flinders Island a few years ago to study Rickettsia (spotted fever) found in the ticks they carry. I was lucky enough to be involved in catching these guys, Chappell tigers, Copperheads and even Wombats to remove the ticks for research purposes. From what I can remember a guy in Melb (no names given on here) ended up with them and their offspring after the study was completed. Great to see these guys on the mainland finally. Good luck Joe.

Spot on about what they are like in the flesh & you can house males & females with minimal fighting due to their great disposition. They have a few Shingleback traits it seems to me with raised head scales & orangey heads......

[Tassie97]

this one tickle your fancy? lol

i like the sound of all this.. its a step forward!
maybe someone read my signature! lol

[richardsc]

tassie blotch males combat just like mainland ones,just like some mainland ones will get along pretty well in groups to,theres a couple of great articles on tassie blotches in regards to breeding in some recentish issues of herpetofauna,with pics of such male aggression,and mentions they needed to make smaller groups over the mating period

come mating time i guess you ill find out one way or another,blotches are blotches,personalitys vary even in the same type locality

[jinjajoe]

as I said 'minimal' not zero........ breeding time is another story though as with all Skinks.... The females all seem placid aswell more so than Alpines or any of the other Blueys save maybe Centralians....
