Do you have a Blue Tongue Skink? WIll you ever own one?

[sandraezesky]

I have a Northern, he comes when I call him and has he has free rein of the room when I am home. Getting him was the best decision I’ve ever made.

When I finally move I want to get a blue tongued skink. They are so adorable with those dinky little arms and they seem like such docile dudes. I’d love to get a juvenile and raise it someday.

It's got a blue tongue coz of that blueberry Gatorade. A case, a closed.

So happy you explain tank sizes as the best to spoil them with. I have a 65gal and was told it would be perfect for a skink but after you saying a 75 is a minimum gives me more knowledge and time to find a better enclosure before I ever get one!

"Did he just call me a potato?" LOL

I kind of wish you would have talked about the sneezing - hands down one of the cutest sounds.

I swear that one day I will own one these little guys and name him Mr. Sausage!💙

Pink tounged skinks are another greatly underrated one, from what I've heard!

I’ve wanted a skink since fourth grade since I held one at an animal event for school. I’ve been doing research ever since (it’s been around 4/5 years) and I’m starting to finally save up for one so hopefully I do get, and I’ve always wanted a northern, so I’ll aim for one of them. This video really helps!

I got an Indonesian about a year ago. We bought her(?) At a discount because she was aggressive and the keepers at the store were scared of her. I love her. I call her my little dragon because if she could breathe fire I wouldn't have a face right now. She's an adolescent (about 8 inches long) in a huge enclosure that I plan to upgrade sometime in the future. Sounds strange, but I actually prefer aggressive reptiles. I have very little fear these days as an experienced keeper

I have a northern blue tongue skink named Dobby. He is great! His enclosure is 6‘ x 2‘.

[antjecramer]

I have an indonesian bluey! He's in a 20 gallon right now, since he's so small, but we're planning on building him a 2x6 (For refrence, he's about the size of a leopard gecko right now!). I give him UVB just to be safe, and plenty of sphagnum moss for humidity.

i've never kept retiles, but am definitely gonna look more into blue tongues for whenever im ready for a pet. can't keep one now, but i could see myself with one as a lil lizard companion

[crystalmetheny]

I don't care what it takes, I'm definitely getting one. I made up my mind almost a year ago😊😊😊😊

[adraawhitemoon]

I've been doing research for a beardie for 3 months and you're making me rethink my choice 😂 they're both on my bucket list!

[shamrock]

I'm planning on getting another one. I had one about 15 years ago who passed after maybe 4 years, it was already an adult when I bought it.
Such a nice reptile to handle and feed, he would hiss only if you grabbed her back initially. I always scooped him belly first and he never minded.
