Show us your blue tongue lizards

My eastern, lizzie (I think she's a girl, not sure if she has been sexed by the previous owner)

Will get some full-body shots later, but for now some of her hunting (excuse crappy ipad pics)

Lava !!

A better name would be, "The Shiznit".

The urban dictionary gives a good explanation of that word.

Wow there are some great colours out there! Well here's another quick snap of my crew. They're your plain old, classic colours.

Nice WA form Centralians.
Have you tried candling them for determining what their genders are?

Heres some examples of what I mean from when I used to keep them.

Female.

Male.

cheers,
Dave.

Thanks for the photos Dave. I tried candling them months ago when I first got them, but I found it very difficult trying to hold them and the torch at the same time. I wasn't able to determine anything. Although just yesterday one of them was defecating and I saw two pinky-purply tubes extruding from the vent. I was thinking that maybe they were "his" hemipenes. Maybe. Anyway, I was considering selling them as I've got quite a few lizards at the moment!

EDIT: Just had another go at candling and looks like I have a boy and a girl. The third one I'm not 100% sure, however.

Dave interesting method, does it work with easterns and other reptiles, even if they are juvenile (pythons)?

In blueys, it really only is useful on Centralians.

It can be helpful on other skinks and small monitors, I don't know of any snakes though. Danny Brown has this method outlined very well in his series of books.

That's a great picture Rory of the 'illumination technique' I have found that it works real well on some critters including some other skink species... definitely not the 'shiznit' for them all tho !!! Cheers...

Another hopeful axanthic Eastern bluey next to a pure Eastern albino that seems to retain some melanin strangely....

Big girls.

Big girls.

I wonder what they've been up to........

New addition.

New addition.

Those hypers have such a short stumpy tail for an Eastern. Nice pickup, Scott.

Thanks Dave. It still has some growing to do but I am leaning female at this stage.

Not my video Les, it's Richard's vid and skinks. I only helped embed it properly into the thread.

Hence why I said FIFY (Fixed It For You).
