I just bought my first Blue Tongue Skink yesterday. I was searching CZcams about them and I discovered this channel. I got to say I'm really enjoying these videos. it's hard to believe you don't have more subscribers. You definitely deserve more.
Love the video, it was well done. It was very informative, accurate and easy to understand. I appreciate the quality of the video filmed. It kept me entertained. 👍👌
My Dad bought one for me as a kid, I'm 57 now. Bluey as anyone would call her was affectionate and a much loved pet of ours back in the 70s. Initially Dad wouldn't touch her, thinking she looked too much like a snake, but became so attached to her that one night I found him watching TV in bed, Bluey stretched out on his belly just under the sheets, quite content. I've always wanted to get another.
Thankyou !!! I will tell you more about what's next in private message.... I will also have cool lizards for you this coming season as I have promised !!
When I was about 12-13 yrs old, I saw a pair of shinglebacks under our house, walking along the inside wall near my father tool bench. I had never seen those particular type of lizard before and this was about 1970 in Murwillumbah NSW,. My mother, who I called to see them said they were ‘bobtail’ lizards and she had seen that type before in the area but not for some years. As far as I have been able to ascertain, they were never found in the area according to any species maps I have ever seen. I suppose its possible they were brought in by someone but this was farming land and we had no neighbours interested in lizards etc and my mother had seen some years ago when much younger herself. I think the species maps are wrong and they were found in that area at some time in the past.
Wow I had no idea there were so many subspecies of tiliqua - I just knew about the several more common ones in the US. Especially of the shingleback, I love those guys! The Rottnest island species is the coolest, god I want one so bad. I'd take any kind of shingleback though, but sadly they are out of my price range. Thanks for the video!
Hello Joe.......your videos are great..with a wealth of information on blue tongues. Which episode has the information on keeping certain BT's together? You were talking about litter mates being kept together........Terry
I have another question for you......since blue tongues seem to be a common backyard animal....like squirrels are here in the US.....do you see a lot of blue tongue casualties on the road??
You tend to see males dead on the road in spring as they are are on the move looking for females... frequency of sightings really depends on where you live....
Joe just a question : what is the ready age for a male lizard to breed and what is your easiest way to tell if your blue tongue skink is a male or female much appreciated :)

You guys are so lucky in Australia, have the most beautiful parrots and reptiles.

Pink-tongue blue-tongues are cute, thanks for showing the whole variety of these skinks.
Great video discussing the phenotypic differences in skinks that all live in similar ranges!
Amazing video I love all the species!! Keep up the great work guys!
Thanks :)
You both are amazing guys
Great video. I learnt a lot.

Amazing video thanks!
Excellent. Clear and I learnt alot.
Thank you :)
It would be nice to see you put together a book on Australian and Indonesian blue tongues....
I'd love to mate.... time permitting It will happen ! Cheers
6:48 the skink's tongue is having a malfunction XD
The Pygmy blue tongue reminds me a lot of the Western Alligator lizard in the U.S.
great video Joe and Steve! keep it up! next has to be a full collection tour kinda like the Facebook live stream!

Robby Simpson the issue is that Aussies aren't allowed to have them.

Hello Joe.......your videos are great..with a wealth of information on blue tongues. Which episode has the information on keeping certain BT's together? You were talking about litter mates being kept together........Terry
Thanks Terry !!! The very next video on sex I'd covers sibling behaviour in short. Thanks again for your feedback!!
I have another question for you......since blue tongues seem to be a common backyard animal....like squirrels are here in the US.....do you see a lot of blue tongue casualties on the road??

Joe just a question : what is the ready age for a male lizard to breed and what is your easiest way to tell if your blue tongue skink is a male or female much appreciated :)
Blueys readily breed at around 18 months of age... Males generally have larger heads & more slender bodies than females... Thanks !!
Next, you should do the same with the Indonesian ones! :P
We can't keep Indonesian blue tongues in Australia so I'm not the best person to cover them !!
Iran JARS?
What about irian jayas?
The video is on Australian species. There aren't any Irian jayas in Australia as they are illegal to keep here.
bluetongueTV How can I buy a bts from you?
This is about Australian Blue Tongues only..... it's illegal for us to keep any others here in Australia.... thanks
Only if you live in Australia.... as it's illegal for us to export reptiles
Why don't you sale skinks out of Australia ?
It is illegal to export reptiles out of Australia.
where the pink tongue skink
Pink Tongues are not in the Tiliqua genus & are classified as Cyclodomorphus.
