Show me the Skinks !

[Mighty_Moose]

Hey all you blue tongue owners do you have a UV light in your Blue tongues enclosure or do you take them out in the sun regularly

 

[lizardjasper]

geckolover07, yes, the first and second skink are the same. My cat brought it to me. She's always bringing me lizards to add to my collection. Pitty I can't keep them all!

Mighty Moose, I have UVB lightimg in my blueys tank and take her out into the sun also. Fat lot of good the tank lighting does, as she's always hiding under stuff.

Does anyone know why my Buffy doesn't have a stripe along her eye and other blueys do? Is it a location bred difference? Here's another pic of Buffy chowing down on a snail.

lizardjasper- is she a eastern?
if she is it could be from intergrading with a northern but im not sure or some easterns found in northern australia lack the eyeband

These are a few wild skinks I saw on a trip I took. If you look closely you can see that the land mullet is chewing on the claw of a lamington spiny cray. I'm not too sure what the other species are. Skinks do rule! I wish I knew where I could get a hold of some of the smaller species like copper tails or eastern water skinks though...

 

[lizardjasper]

I'm not 100% positive as I got her from a petshop and you know what they're like -know nothing - but I think she's an eastern.

[Mighty_Moose]

Very nice ! Because I'm thinking of setting up an enclosure for a Bluey

These are up to date, as in i took them just now:

I don't think a lot of people have PF skinks. I know Danny has some. I've got a colony of 4, not really sure who is who in the zoo so to speak. They are hard to sex as it seems to be based mainly on size? Well that's what the JCU paper on them said.
I need to upgrade their enclosure as they have grown a bit since I got them. Also when they fight they tend to take the ends of each others tails off!! little buggers. Noticed one the other day is regrowing its tail end back

haha now im here i got three skinks...they are all shinglebacks...

[Costa]

yeah i use UVB in my enclosure for my bluey...
and take him out to sun regularly also as hes continuously hiding...

lizardjasper- to me it looks like an alpine/blotched from the markings on its back. cant see it properly tho.

 

[Mighty_Moose]
