Post your blue tongue skinks! or other skinks too....
I just got my first, bluey last week!
Ive been searching for a blue tongue skink for quite some time now, I was really picky about what I wanted and looked at so many from multiples places but really was waiting for one to "speak to me" so I finally found one that I loved! Instantly knew I wanted her! She came from J&C Pets (found her on fauna) not sure the reputation on them as ive heard conflicting info but I had a decent experience. Lacey arrived safely last week (but Im just now getting around to posting)!
She is beautiful! A little smaller than what I was expecting but all is okay and I LOVE HER!, Shes 2011 Merauke so I still get to watch her grow some. Shes in a 4x2x2 wood cage and I sure had fun decorating it for her the night before she got here, and it allowed me enough time to make sure her temps were just perfect. I set an alarm in the morning of her arrival to get up early to turn her cage on so it would be warm for her when she arrived. FEDEX was 40mins late and I was impatiently waiting at the door, peering out the window waiting! Kinda peeved me though because the FEDEX driver ran the doorbell and instantly turned and started walking back to his truck with her, literally did not wait a single second for me to come to the door. Luckily! I was right there.Perhaps he was afraid of what could be in the box labeled "Harmless Live Reptile" and wanted to get back to his truck asap? I dunno! but grrr! Anyways,
Shes still adjusting so Im not messing with her for another week or so although I am so tempted! I just want skink cuddles already! Shes been buried in her aspen or under her half-log hide. Only time she comes out is to eat, but she eagerly took some blueberries from my hands.
