Kimberley Northern Blue Tongues

[Nero Egernia]

Hi everyone, just sharing some photos of my Kimberley Prince Regent Northern Blue Tongue Lizards.

They're so cute, if not a little pugnacious. Their intricate speckling just blows me away, and they get better after each shed. Speaking of which, they're due for a shed soon so maybe I'll be able to take some more photos if the weather permits.

I know a lot of people on here don't care much when it comes to naming their reptiles, but their names are Dionysos (Διόνυσος) and Ariadne (Ἀριάδνη). They may sound a little outlandish, but I'm keeping them within the Greek theme as I'm currently learning the Greek language. And no, I'm not a natural and my Greek grammar sucks as well as my pronunciations. Still, I'm finding the learning experience fun anyway.

Μου αρέσουν οι σαύρες μου (I like my lizards). Or "μου αρέσουν τα φίδια μου" if you want to say I like my snakes. Or "μου αρέσουν οι χελώνες μου" for turtles. Or cut out the "μου" at the end of the sentence if you would just like to say "I like - (whatever animal)" instead of "I like my - (whatever animal)". Just a disclaimer, I still have a lot to learn and so may been prone to mistakes.

Without further ado, the photos!

Thanks kankryb! Looks like their colours are beginning to fade now to give way to more speckling, but they still look amazing in my opinion.

Here's some very recent photos of them.

Thanks, dragonlover1! These guys come from Prince Regent lines. Could be why they look different to your Kununurra blue-tongue perhaps?
