ahhhh,a striped diamond thingy happening hey,pmsl,its from pure parents,i know the breeder,nice pinky mate,be careful with wild caughts,department dont like that,even if u save them
 
The open mouth shot looks like its been dodgily photoshopped to look blue and the long toes were the first thing i noticed..
Lol. ..good try though.
actually there has been no photoshopping.it is a pink tongue,with a blue tongue.it will be in my care till it recovers
 
Spontaneous mutation does occur occasionally. ;) My carpet threw out an unusual morph a couple of years ago. This snake seemed to have larger teeth than a normal carpet, unusual coloured eyes and rough keeled scales.

so in all seriousness who out there has adult pink tongue skinks with blue tongues.just wondering how rare it actually is
 
Depends what you call 'adult'. One of mine did not get their pink tongue til 13 months or so, and a few of the others stil haven't.
 
Happier what do you intend to do with this ,would you breed with blueys as you clame it came from a pair or would you breed it with pinkys as that is what it appears to be...????
 
I keep an adult male Eastern with a trio of adult pink tongues, and nothing happens, though I have heard from a 100% reliable source of a bluey cross cunningham, though the offspring would almost be 100% mules.
