In Australia, availability and upfront costs would both get a 5 star rating. They’re pretty much everywhere in the wild and in just about every pet shop. They’re one of the few reptiles you don’t need an Australian reptile license for (depending on the species and sub species) and they cost from $20-80. They can live for over 30 years too, so really good for a first pet. Also, there’s a lot of mutations in Australia that aren’t in America, like Albino and Melanistic (completely black).

your right about them being the best, I let my bluey run around my room. She is the only lizard I have ever let roam free in my room, we watch TV together, she likes to sit on my lap. If they are well trained they generally won't poop outside their cages. Also she did drop her tail once when she was young, but it grew back, it's a different color on the tip. Also a warning, if they do bite you, it really hurts, they can really bite pretty deep into you, they have really powerful jaws, but mine only bit someone hard once in about 17 years of me owning her so far, and that's because she thought the finger was a worm... don't wriggle your fingers in front of their faces also they have a rudimentary eye type thing on top of their heads that detects shadows, mine gets really spooked if I move my hand real quick over her head

@joost1120 2 жыл бұрын

@@tristenbrubaker4289 So far I haven't had any issues with it. Humidity really helps with shedding, so the non-Australian Blue tongue's probably have an easier time than Australian ones. I have a Merauke blue tongue, humidity is between 60 to 80%. Mine is just grumpy for a day and stays hidden, until it's time get all the skin off. Then she just crawls around the enclosure, rubbing past everything. Most of it is loose in an hour. If you increase the humidity a bit once you notice it's shedding, it likely won't have any issues. Just keep an eye on it and give it a soak in some lukewarm water if there's some difficulty shedding. Be sure to give it the option of getting out of the water, and make sure the water level isn't too high.

In testament to their hardiness, our pet blue tongue escaped a couple of weeks before we went on holiday. Couldn’t find him despite searching one end of the house to the other. The day we got back from our 4 week holiday, I heard some scuffling noises coming from a draw of clothes. Assuming it was mice that had moved in while the house was empty, I opened the draw ready to evict the little buggers, only to find our blue tongue happily scooting around in my t shirts. There were even shreds of shed skin in there too. 6 weeks of zero care and apart from being a bit thirsty he showed absolutely no signs of neglect. Still going strong several years later, he’s got to be the ultimate in hardy, simple to keep reptiles. We live in Queensland, so it’s his natural climate etc, which would’ve helped.

What's the best age/size to get? -keep in mind it will have to interact with a well behaved toddler.

Great video! I have one and he's incredible. I got him at a pet store that specializes in exotics and he was about $300 and well worth the money. He loves being handled and going places. The thing that truly sold me on him was that after I held him, he didn't want to go back into his enclosure. He was very comfortable in my arms and tried to climb back up when I went to place him in. I also love his bulk. These guys don't feel like a lot of other lizards. Most lizards I've handled seem to feel kind of fragile and like you could squish them. BTS are so much more muscular. I couldn't say enough about them. I would certainly recommend them.

Clint, good video, lots of factual information, which is nice to see because so many people are spitting out reptile videos with incorrect information that could actually harm the animals, so I'm glad to see the information you are providing is correct, but one note on your comment about availability, there may not be a lot of skinks available in your typical pet shop or reptile store but there are tons available at reptile shows, from local breeders, and online reptile classifieds such as fauna and kingsnake.com. They are still pricey, but available. The reptile show I attended last month had a huge selection of skinks from multiple breeders. They're available if you look in the right places, but, yes, they are pricey, as are most exotics.

they are worth it, they live a very long time, and they can really become a friend for a long time. once you go skink you never go back.

@noahhultgren193 6 жыл бұрын

Trey K. you can re a just them to being touched, just feed him and stick around while he eats, and help him get used to being around you before you start touching him. also start off spending like 1 minute or so around him and slowly work your way up. it can take a while, but it's worth it and totally doable.

I always go back and forth between the blue-tongue skinks and beardies. Both are just so adorable and precious little lizards (even though they're actually not really that little lol). I've heard great things about both. So many things to think about. But, thank you for your awesome videos and enthusiasm!

I know petsmart sucks, but they've had the same blue tongued skink for months. They were about to get rid of the poor guy and had him marked 50% off. So I just brought him home for $150. He's in great shape though. He looks perfect and he has a great personality. They actually had him in a pretty nice enclosure. No one had bought one from them before at this location, they didn't even have the right food for him for sale. They had to give me some from the back. I'm so happy! I've been considering a blue tongue for about a year now. I got lucky finding him!

Hi I was wondering with your temperature information you give can you also do Celsius because I’m from Australia and I don’t use Fahrenheit. Also do you know the supply availability in Australia? Love your channel btw

@soulsonwheels9016 6 жыл бұрын

Ben Allen They're widely available in Australia because thats where they come from, well northerns come from Australia. Its harder to get them in other countries due to import laws.

i think the celsius conversion is a great idea, he can just use those annotation things that he was doing all video if he wants to

35-40 degrees is a good basking temp :) they do appreciate it a little hotter if you can provide it though. (Maybe 45)

Ben, depending on where you live you may well have wild blue tongues if you have a garden. I have a wild bluey who lives in the vegie garden, she has a few babies each year. Sadly the Kookaburras have their young at the same time so they almost all get eaten. Blueys love to eat snails.

I bought my northern blue tongue because of this video! He's still a baby and I've only had him for less than a week, but he's already walking right up to and sitting on my lap. Absolutely loves vegetables too (Especially collard greens), so I couldn't be happier with him. Thanks Clint!

@nicholascernatescu6685 2 жыл бұрын

I couldn’t be happier for you. My baby Halmahera just passed away today for unknown reasons. She has everything she need but she never really had an appetite and hardly ate. I just woke up today and found her stiff next to her log hideout. It completely destroyed me. I used to have bonding sessions where I would talk to her and pet her. I really hope your little one lives 20 years or more.

Love your videos and especially because you make people aware of costs and any negatives to each as a pet. Your rating system is great! It's important for people to know what to expect and not enough people do their research before an adoption.

Pretty educational channel! I really like how enthusiastic you are about reptiles and the accurate and honest informations really make you one of the best reptile channels I've encountered so far. Keep up the great work! You definetly need more subscribers.. Also, I got my first reptile - a two year old male ball python - almost 4 weeks ago now from a breeder and I'm pretty happy. But the real must-have for me is a blue tongue skink.. I love their appearance, the size, the character.. They are just gorgeous.. Sadly, as you said, they are pretty hard to get.. even over here in Germany.. I don't even find a single breeder, but I'll definetly get one in the future ;) I often see a lot of discussion about enclosure sizes.. The information I got so far was, that blue tongues need (at least) a 2mx60cmx60cm enclosure and (in my opinion) that is kind of colossal. I'd like to know what you think about that size. My ball python lives in a 150cmx80cmx80cm enclosure, which (for example) would be way to big, if you don't put a bunch of stuff to hide in it. Anyway, I only see him sometimes during night time.. he's pretty shy, but maybe he'll settle in with time and trusts his environment enough, to not hide, when I move in front of the enclosure :'D I still love him. Regards from Germany to you and also everybody who reads this

Skink (sk-ink)- verb- to move around slowly on the ground in a charmingly inquisitive manner represented by lizards of the family Scincidae. "They just skink around."

@anniedarkhorse6791 Жыл бұрын

I can vouch for their friendliness. I live in North-Western Sydney. One used to regularly head up to my back deck to eat dog food. If I was in between he would just walk up to my feet. He'd let me pick him up and pat him then I'd put him down and he'd continue on towards the house. Didn't seem concerned about me at all. No aggression.
