Show us your blue tongue lizards

Ya lucky bugger Tania666, we don't have a yard anymore, live in a unit, can't wait to get into a house again, critters will have a whole shed to themselves instead of just a room.

My two, Mary and Sleepy and their nice size enclosure, it gives them way more room width wise than their old 3ft tank did and unfiltered daylight.

Mate the easterns and the kimberleys look good. Like the colour of the one in the second kimberley pic. Will they hold any of that colour as they grow?

i don't know how they will colour up, could be anything. Kimbos go through a huge colour change as they mature. Here's the parents of that litter.

I don't think I'll ever stop drooling over the pictures you post, RoryBreaker. Your Blueys, especially the SE QLD locale Eastern, are stunners!

Here are some recent pictures of my lot:

Gizmo

Astro

Ninja

Ninja's been dropping sperm plugs, Astro on the other hand is still an unknown to me. I'm hoping for a female, but whichever way he or she ends up, his/her colours, although dark - are really nice! Just sloughed the day before yesterday too.

Here is my bluey called rex anyone know why his belly would be orange though it goes back to normal colour just before he sheds then it comes back again

Gorgeous Bluey! What do you mean his belly goes orange than to normal colour? If you mean his belly goes white (or milky), that's a normal occurrence when leading up to a shed. Their colours dull quite a bit before clearing, then they slough off a layer of the old skin. The above pictures of his belly look normal to me, nice yellows!

I don't have any pictures of my SEQLD Eastern, aka Gizmo's belly, though his belly looks pretty similar to Rex's, maybe a little lighter in shade. I do have some of my het-melanistic Astro, so while the belly is much darker than your Rex's, it is very normal to be that colour.

Wow he is gorgeous thanks was just a bit concerned due to the fact it changed thanks so much

I can not get over how fast they grow.
I got my first blue tongue in February now it is about 30 cm long.
I use a hand blender to mix green salad, strawberry, blueberry , kangaroo mince, boiled eggs, peach, pear
I then put the mix in ice trays place in freezer. perfect size to serve after defrosting
I feed my blue tongue every 2nd day so he does not get to fat like me
they are so easy to look after and cheap to feed

Northern.
