ok, I have gone a little overboard on blue tongues. I have just gotten back into keeping them and I have gotten 6 in the past few months. Here are the 3 newest additions.

First is a juvie that I went against my rule and bought from a pet store. I paid a too much for it, but I just had to get him/her out of there. They were keeping him with a uromastyx and the uro had already ate his tail.

Next are my 2 babies that just arrived today.

Anyone know what locales they are?

Now I want a Blue Tongue skink. They are really pretty. I guess I am not the only one who buys lizards to get them out of the bad situation they are in. Will the Blue Tongue regrow his tail?

I really couldn’t just leave him there. He was in a 12" square cage on sand with an adult male uromastyx. They were feeding them both crickets and only crickets. He has become quite a little pig on the mix I make. His tail will regrow somewhat but it will never be the same. Right now he has about 1/4" regrown and it is black. He has a little bit of an attitude and likes to hiss, but with handling he should calm down. I would be a grouch too if someone ate part of my tail.

I bought my first golden skink to save him from a bad situation. He was in a hot dry sand filled tank and goldens need very wet rain forest conditions. I don’t know how he survived as long as he did. I noticed when tails regenerate they are black at first and then take on normal colour. You are right, they never are the same. I understand that the bones do not regenerate so it is a shorten soft tissue tail. You lizard must be so happy to feel safe and well fed. Good luck with him.
