shinglebacks

[mandy]

haha this is a really strange question. but what do shinglebacks look like as babies? they are one of the few lizards id like to get sometime, so was just a bit curious as to how they look when they are born :lol:

does anyone here keep them?

 

[southy]

yeah they look like a normal shingleback, just smaller, they are actually quite big a babies tho

 

[jordo]

huge babies compared to bluetongues! I used to have about 10 but now I'm down to 1 pair coz I'm moving out soon. For some absurdly stupid reason I took no pics when they bred a few years ago. but if they breed this year I'll post some pics.

 

[mandy]

hmm i heard they were big as babies

i think they are so cute, and want one

I'm SO with you here,Mandy. I yearn for a shingleback. They are adorable.

There's this thing called the Stendhal Syndrome, where people are overcome by emotion and burst into tears and get the shakes and stuff when faced with a beautiful vision, ie a beautiful work of art or sunset. I nearly experienced Stendhal Syndrome when I held my first shingleback!

 

[mandy]
