A Simple Lizard Wellness Check with a Blue Tongue Skink

[blugrl12]

hes cute and so tolerant

[ZZincorporated]

It's ironic that after he gets done talking about mouth infection, he turns to the other side of the skink and based on what he said, it has an infection.

[TTreptiles]

Do u know how I can get rid of them?

[TTreptiles]

My skink has small black bugs comin off him

What the he'll r they? how do I get rid of them?

[ColdBloodedLadyJ]

@TTreptiles

You're kidding, right? Mites maybe...

[xxLOLxx098]

umm his mouth isnt closed properly

[orionclayton94]

your skink is fat!!!

[FattyDudley]

@orionclayton94 Blue tongue skinks are supposed to look a little fat.

[PJay163]

[Uralowa]

@PJay163

[LGeckoProductions]

checking reptiles for boogers...

[pa1ntb411a]

he looks sooo stoned at 1:01

[palleruuslarsen1]

isnt it a little bit choppy? :)

[BrosFromaNose]

Anyone know how much a skink would cost at petco and do skinks go good with other skinks in same tank

[imitebmike]

i dunno about american prices, but you are better off trying to find a private breeder...

And most people say they should be kept alone and only introduced for mating purposes, cause they are generally solitary...

[HitomiNoRyu]

A price of any BTS should not go over $150 unless its a rare species like a Centralian or Shingleback which can up to the thousands. NEVER can them at a pet store. Almost all of them are wild-caught and most likely full of parasites. Go find a breeder who can prove their stock is captive bred.

BTS are solitary creatures and only are together for mating which is once a year or every other year. Putting more then one in any tank will lead to missing toes or limbs.

[Uralowa]

@BrosFromaNose

I wouldn't get one from there, it might not be in very good condition/not bred properly. Try and find a breeder, the skink will be healthier.

And no... if the other lizard is smaller, the BTS will probably try and eat them. D:

[emilyjapan]

hi i have a blue tongue lizard and he lost hes finger and i dont know what to do please help

[ARTicWeather]

Some lizards shed their toes by accident. Your Lizard will be fine. But if you're worried you should take it to a vet right away. It could take a while for anyone to reply.

[evanjohnston123]

it must have had shed skin stuck to its toe and the circulation cut off

[UsuckieMYwoodie]

gettin a skink in like 4 days cant wait!!!!!!!

[OinkyDag]

I got heaps of those blue tongue lizards in the garden here at home. :)

[jasline55]

really i feel sick when i saw that

[beckburque]

ironic that he is talking about lizard health yet the animal he is holding is obese. it doesn't even really look like a blue tongue anymore.

[Hoopsfroops]

It's a certain type of blue-tongue they are supposed to look like that lol

I don't blame you for thinking it though

but if you research bout them you'll find most are quiet fat =]

[saggot420]

its the desert sub-species from drier areas of australia.

[SuicidalFurby]

Damn, haven't seen one that big.

[aanntt123]

actually it is obese, i have 5 and its obvious which ones are obese and which ones arent.

[Spick297]

You have a different species of blue tongue

[Eppisiie]

he only tlks about its heasd

[monkeykid101]

lol

[aanntt123]

mines obese

[Herptiles]

He doesn't comment on how the skink is obese...

[Robo12340]

no it is not... that looks like a vey well kept lizard, it would be an older lizard it looks about 8-12 years old

[TheDojoLoach]

He isn't obese, but he has one helluva chin on him.

[Joe1507]

"mucus"
