“Don’t give them fruit that often” omg that reminded me that when my grandma was watching my bearded dragon for like 6 months she gave her strawberries almost every single day bc she “liked them and wanted them” 🤦🏼‍♀️ she came back a lil chunky

Owning a Blue Tongued Skink is a wishlist animal for me. They're freakin adorable.

Bro care guides along with “day in the life with my pets” are my favorite kind of videos

I petted a blue tongue skink for the first time last week at an exotic expo, and it felt like corn on the cob 🤣🤣

I’ve been wanting a blue tounge skink but there’s not many cars guides out there and I’m saving up money 😊

I've had my bts since I was six. We've grown up together, and thirteen years later, he's still my best bud

One thing I'd like to add, some blue-tongued skinks are just not as nice as people expect. My skink, for example, just is a pill and loves to hiss at me, display her tongue, waste, and attempt to threaten me sometimes when I first get her out until she realizes she's fine and calms down quickly afterwards. She has never bitten me, so it's all a bluff, but I can't say that's the same for other skinks.
I've had her since she was a tiny baby, but I've met other skinks who have the same behavior. So, just be careful as well to other people who don't realize this possibility. :)

I've always wanted a blue tongue, but they're so expensive. My local pet store has a juvenile that was originally $300. But nobody would buy him/her. It's been a couple of months. I went back to that pet store yesterday, and the blue tounge is still there, but get this: They cut the price *IN HALF.* Now I want this skink more then ever. I've done tons of research. Wish me luck trying to convince my parents.

Love the vid, but all I can think about right now is "can you groom my dog?" XD
Edit: Wow, did not think anyone would get that reference lol

[crittercrner]

Even though I already have 3 eastern blueys, my oldest is 6 years old and I had him since he was only a month old. I’m watching this anyway bc more info the better and also show support. 💙

This is such a wild coincidence, I’m getting my skink tomorrow

I am devastated now. 4 weeks ago I was in my friends house in West Hollywood and I was out in the yard and I noticed a little lizard. I thought it looks unusual and so pretty compared to the ones I’ve seen here in CA and I took a picture of it. The little lizard got scared and went under the ran under the house but. I just realized it was a baby blue tongue skink. I really hope someone finds it because I’m 100% sure it was someone’s pet 😭💔

ive rescued a bluey in a tiny tank with no lighting or heating, on fake grass substrate. we pick him up Thursday. also a beardie from the same person, kept in awful conditions. I'm dropping out next year to start the New Zealand Reptile Rescue Centre.
