HELP rescued blue tongue

[GeckoRider]

this time of the year?!?!?!

Why not... its almost summer.. things are heating up.. she must have got it on early... But that's just my opinion... Does anyone else agree?

 

[Sezzzzzzzzz]

I meant why would you only bother if you weren't going to release it?

because they arent going to affect the animal, but they may get onto other animals in the collection I would presume.

im gunna keep it

 

[james.5]

If it turns out it is gravid what will you do with the bubs???

 

[Tassie97]

Give the bubs out i suppose lol you in line are ya?

 

[GeckoRider]

lol.. Hey just a question can you catch and keep Bluetongues in perth? Also if you feel like sending a baby to vic for free go right ahead

 

[GeckPhotographer]

It can't possibly be gravid, bluetongues get pregnant. I spend half my time on here trying to tell people to say gravid then the only time they ever say it is for animals that get pregnant. Sheesh.

Just kidding guys, but seriously, ... pregnant.

I'm fairly certain that "gravid' applies to both live bearing and egglaying reptiles.

It's important to only interfere/rescue with wildlife that has been directly affected by humans. Native Australian wildlife has evolved with ticks - they are a natural parasite and shouldn't be interfered with.

Jonno it is so hard to educate people on this. There is so much publicity about the dangers of ticks etc. Unfortunately i know this from first hand that in the Tassie herp society they educate in some area to check all found reptiles for ticks and remove them. I was totally against this and it was so hard to push that they need to be left.

Sorry for the ignorance, but could removing them negatively affect the Bluey in any way or are you just wanting to preserve the natural order?
