Tazzie Blue Tongues in Oz finally !!!!!!

[jinjajoe]

After a loooooooooong wait I finally got my colony of adult Tazzie Blueys recently.... enjoy the snaps.....

By far the nicest Blotchey I reckon !!!! & to my knowledge 1 of only 2 or 3 colonies of these guys legally held in Australia.

Tazzie Parks & Wildlife issued the permit & are held jointly with a friend of mine. 3 of the females are gravid & I will be releasing babies shortly.

indeed true but rep movements are restricted.......... heaps nicer than lowland or Highland Blotcheys I reckon.

& lol I pulled nearly 40 ticks off 6 animals when they arrived...

I've been to seen them and they look awesome! Very different to the alpine blotched.

 

[Wrightpython]

so are they wild stock now in captivity

 

[jinjajoe]

Yes but have been in captivity for a while in a large outdoor enclosure. To collect wild specimens in Tazzie as you probs know has less restrictions than Mainland Aus.
