Please comment, rate

If you have any questions, please type under the video below...tks:) cause it is too long to open the inbox in the youtube..

If your blue tongues skinks have been cooled and you have the sexes right, the mating behaviour should be visible within a few hours or days of skinks being put together.
Enjoy the video :)

i ave 2 blue tongues and every time one approached the other it waggs its tail a little bit. also one tries to bite the other. i dont know if they are trying to fight or mate? please help!!!!

[anne2matthew]

@hydraxeno07 Sorry for a late reply. If you put your skink in the same box, the female will lose interest with the male. If you have separate them (at least 3-6 months), meet them up again around spring time or when the weather gets warmer. If they still attack each other after a long separation, most likely both male. The female usually very submissive during the mating season and have the ' catch me if you can attitude'

Ok so at what age will they try to mate? I know they should not be bred before 2 years old but at what age will they try or attempt it?

[anne2matthew]

@joseydiann It really depends on the size of your skink.Once the male is big enough to 'hold ' the female, the male skink will try to mate. In this video the skink is around 1.5 year old

[joseydiann]

Thanks for the reply. Mine are about 8 months old and I have no clue if they are males or females. Will the males have the sperm plus at 8 months old?

[anne2matthew]

@joseydiann. If you have a pair. It is better if you separated from them for a while. ( around 3 months). Then meet them again when the weather is warmer or without heat pad. Once meet, they should react- So the male will try to 'seduce' the female. And given the correct care, your skink should have produced sperm -- but it takes some practice for the male to 'hold' the female. He will not always successful. Good luck.

I think I may have a pair of blueys but one was cooled (Male I think) would breeding still be possible or would I have to cool the female as well? Also, Last time they were together the younger male bit the older female (I think) on the head but a couple weeks before the female was bit on the side out of no were. Any help?

[hydraxeno07]

@anne2matthew oh ok thanks!

Hey can you make a video for how to tell a if you blue tongue skink a male or female please

[iluvcynder]

You'd think the female would just bite the males head off....

[t8rtot01]

is their any relation in blue tounged and blue stiped?

[damnationofsociety]

so can a male and female live together if the tank is large enough? I have a large enclosure i built for mine, and i've been thinking about getting another.

i have a 3 year old girl and a 1 1/2 boy will they mate, they seem to like each other but just haven't mated. And doesn't the biting hurt the female?
