Okay, clearly pink tongues are incredible, but do you think that they make a better pet than the blue tongue?? Be sure not to miss our video on the blue tongue if you haven't seen it yet: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab9daKtinZzDYZc.html

One time I girl in high school called me a skink as an insult. When I asked if if she meant to say another word that IS an insult and sounds very close to skink. She said no, she meant to call me a skink. And I took that as the highest compliment because skinks are AMAZING

“Each individual can be pretty distinctive” Don’t you mean each individual can be pretty diSKINKtive

Everytime that tongue came out my brain just went "BLE BLE BLE BLE BLE"

So it’s the pink tounged skink also called the “normal tounged skink”.

Never heard of a pink tongue skink and I'm completely in love now

Couldn't agree more, Clint. Pink tongue skinks are awesome reptiles. Ours is super docile and extremely inquisitive. Their semi arboreal lifestyle allows for creating a fun and interesting enclosure with lots of climbing areas. 🦎👍

lol I seriously was grinning ear to ear every time it flicked its tongue out for a moment or two 😂 so funny

I've never heard of these guys! For years I've wanted a blue tongue, but was intimidated by the size the enclosure would need to be. This little guy sounds PERFECT!!

Pink Tongues evidence much more personality and thinking (personal choice-making) than I ever expected. I've lived with mind for about 6 weeks (motivated largely by this video, lucky to find a quality breeder near me). She's got her own opinion on things, is learning to trust me, approach me, and very quickly learned when and where the food is provided each day. I appreciate a pet who comes willingly (as opposed to my cornering and grabbing) and whose affection is not a given (as with a puppy). The relationship is very cool and continually developing. My 10 year old Northern Blue Tongue obviously knows me well already, and is an amazing companion. This baby Pink Tongue promises to be the same, but in her own very unique way.

Clint truly is the most underrated KZfaqr, no one on this platform provides better information and easily understandable videos than Clint and his crew, these videos are the literal perfect examples of a good informational video, five out of five chameleons!

I’m so surprised to hear these little guys are climbers! They have such little legs for their body size; they must be crazy strong 😱

Fun fact: Here in Germany they are called "Schneckenskink", literally "snail skink". My local pet store at the town I lived before actually had two of these, and it was the first time I really saw any skink at all. Instantly loved them. Had I known then how rare they were I would have probably got one because where I live know I haven't seen any so far. But blue-tongue skinks are really rare here in Germany as well, in contrast to ball pythons, which it seems like you can get at your local grocery store. lol

"The top viewed video on all of KZfaq about pink tongue skink has 7000 views" well, this video will take that place in a few moments.

I did'nt even know they existed thanks for showing 😁😁😁🐊🐢🦎🐍

Anybody else tear up while watching the patreon clip? No....just me??? Oh, okay. It was just so wholesome!! And the blue tongue skink eating the banana 😭😭❤️

Excellent video Clint! I have long been intrigued by the blue-tongued skinks, and I am delighted to have learned about their smaller, highly underrated cousins! Nice that they don’t need a lot of heat. I loved that quote about some of the larger lizards...’if they DO want to hurt you, they’re really good at it...’ 🤣👍

Half the time when they zoom in on the lizard, you can see Clint smiling at the critter in the background. Makes me grin too. I don't think I'm going to get a new pet lizard anytime soon (If I have the space in the future... Think I've got my eye on a Tegu), but I do love these videos - It's cool to learn more about the different ones out there.

ooHHHH my god theyre like pocket sized blueys this is very exciting!!!! So tiny and cute!!

Hi Clint, I am from Portugal and I have a pink tongue. In Portugal, snails are considered a delicacy, and are sold in everywhere so this is the perfect pet lizard for me.

this video is definitely going to shoot these skinks straight into the limelight, i can't wait to see them become just as popular as the blue tongues. i appreciate you exposing these more incognito pets in the trade!

I watched this video back when it first got posted and fell so in love that I ended up getting one a few months later, even though I was originally considering a blue tongue lol. My girl is a chaotic little gremlin and I love her--so thank you for the recommendation!

I've been watching SO many reptile videos, a lot of which have been from your page, while simultaneously heavily researching what reptile I think would be my best first entry reptile. Arkansas is a rather humid location and so a lot of lizards immediately become harder to maintain with lighting, and housing plus due to a lack of a local reptile community, feeding costs. I wanted something handleable and personable, calm, yet not too tiny where I may be anxious interacting with them, especially around my other animals. Blue tongues were ALMOST perfect, but then I found this video. I immediately found full care guides, necessary information, budgeted, and located some breeders to look into, and have firmly decided this will be the perfect first lizard that hits all the boxes. Thank you so much for these types of videos and for encouraging informed decisions that will ensure proper care and an enjoyable life and bond for the reptile. Keep it going!

I'm so captive by their tongues!! 🤣🤣 It flings out like a snakes but its a round tongue so sticken rad! My favorite feature of theirs.

These are really cool! Could you do a video on what is the San Diego Zoo diet? I have struggled trying to find a guideline.

As someone who had birds as a kid but is trying to avoid the noise of birds for apartment living, by god do these lil' guys seem just about perfect for a newbie reptile keeper like me. This channel is such a godsend.

This is adorable, I love lizards and this one is a perfect size.

CBB pink tounges up here in ohio go for 200 on average and CBB normal blues go for 350-450 which just blows my mind even more to as of why they arent more appreciated

YAAAASSSSS! I’ve been waiting for this....(grabs popcorn and a sody and hunkers down)

Kindof want one now. Theyre adorable

Within a few hours you’re already the most popular Pink tongue skink episode congrats

Ok- I admit, That tongue is SO SILLY COOL! MAKES ME GIGGLE!!

I've been planning on getting a blue tongue within the next year or so, I love them. But I'd never heard of the pink tongue until now, and I think you just changed my mind. These guys seem to be perfect and exactly what I want in a lizard.

obsessed now, thanks clint lol these guys are so underrated! wish i'd heard of them sooner

They use their tongues like a snake!! Theyre so cute!! Thank you clint!

As an Australian, these guys are pretty much every store that sells reptiles, they are fairly popular along with blue tongues. That said I have seen them a few times out in the wild while prospecting, I must say we seem to have some of the best reptiles in the world.

I just found out that where I live in Florida, we have an invasive frog called the Cuban tree frog; they’re super cute little characters and even though I don’t keep them as “pets” I have many that hang out on my windows and in my plants. Maybe they would make for a fun future video idea 😊💚

clint is actually hte happiest person. whenever i watch u u are so nice and happy and its just so cute. Keep it up!!!!!!

Great video! And awesome timing - I was looking for pink tongue skink videos yesterday!

Hell yes, hell yes, HELL YES I've been championing the pink tongued skink to everyone I know for the past year now ever since I got mine they are truLY!!!! THE BEST LIZARD!!!

Her pink tongue is adorable and so is she but I love my blue tongue skink just the same ...super rad video!

Awesome video! Never heard of these but love how they look very similar to blue tounges but are a little more streamlined. Thanks for the introduction!

Clint, you are the man!!! Thank you for this video, was almost set on a blue tongue but now after all this info, I think a pink tongue is better suited for me. Your passion for reptiles is infectious. Keep it up!!

They are gonna crack the windows of the blue tongue skinks carrier. LOL

Oh my gosh... I didn’t know a thing about these lizards and now I definitely want one! How are these not more popular/available?! Thanks for this gem, Clint!

What an awesome lizard. Thanks Clint, as always, for the info.

Thanks for highlighting this animal, I’ve never heard of the pink tongued variety before!

I've been interested in these for years. Thanks for this

Hello! My name is Kat and ive been watching your videos for about a week now. (I need to go through and like them all lol) I just wanted to let you know how profoundly you have helped me with my love of reptiles. I've always thought they were fascinating animals (specifically snakes but i also like many lizards) but i was terrified of getting bitten. Lately I've wanted to get a pet that's more laid back that i could keep in my room so I started out with your top 5 best pets for beginners and from there i just started watching all of your videos. You really made me feel better about snakes esspecially and cleared up a lot of misconceptions I had. Your attitude about the animals and how positive you are is really heartwarming. Its good there is someone like you(And snake discovery) out there to educate people on these pets. I veiw reptiles at the pitbull of the pet world. They have a bad rep. I now know that's just all wrong. I plan on getting a ball python or a gargoyle/crested gecko. I really do want that big snake hug though. Would you suggest me trying to tackle a boa for my first try? Or should i start small. Thank you for doing these kinds of videos. I really like the super educational ones. Not to say your entire channel isn't educational but the ball python genetics series was particularly good. Genetics is My favorite part of biology. I love animals and in fact I'm planning on becoming a biologist(and writer). I know this comment might get lost. That's ok. Just know that no matter how many likes or views your videos get someone will always appreciate what you do. You're an amazing teacher.

Glad to see you doing a video on these guys! When I was thinking of getting a blue tongue, I came across these guys and ultimately decided I would enjoy a bigger lizard. Can 100% say I enjoy watching her skink around, even though I am having a little trouble getting her used to handling. It will come with time. The only draw back I have really found is one you mentioned, if they poop on you, you really notice. Highly unpleasant. You can work around it, of course, and they'll do it less as they get accustomed to handling but the first time was a real shock!

It’s awesome to see pink tongue content!! Love that tongue what good bleps! It’s great to see them get more exposure.

Yes, finally. I absolutely love them. I have a 6th month old and he is getting so big.

We were looking at a Blue Tongued Skink for our next reptile. I think we may change gears and look for a pink tongued instead. Great Video! My mom has always been against having any reptiles in the house which was disappointing as I have loved reptiles my whole life, snakes especially, and want to work as a herpetologist and reptile educator. Your videos as well as Emily's at Snake Discovery (and a few others) helped her see them as awesome creatures instead of something scary. Your rating system especially helped in our decision to get our first Corn Snake. We now have several species of snakes, and other reptiles (and yes, my mom loves them all!) and I've started my own channel as well. I don't know that my dad and I ever would have convinced my mom to get our first reptiles without the work you and other educators do. Thank you so much! - Annaliese

Love this video - and this channel! Thank you! Through all your hard work, I have a greater love for my own pet gecko and have discovered just how much I love reptiles in general. Thank you so much! One idea: discussing vet support for these creatures, especially largely unknown ones like the pink tongue skink. In smaller markets especially, I imagine people could have real difficulty finding a vet for “exotics” like skinks, monitors and rarer species of snakes. If it’s difficult to get medical care for an animal in your area, then it might be better to find a reptile who does get supported in your area. Just a thought in terms of care considerations. Also, what’s going on in terms of expanding vet access for certain reptiles? Again, I adore this channel! Thank you!

I absolutely love this channel! One point: I think it would be really nice if you more consistently mentioned where the creatures are native to, and maybe a very brief description of their natural habitat

It's awesome to see a video of these guys.

Thank you for doing a video on there guys! I'm working on setting up an enclosure for one.

Clint every video: this might be the best lizard ever

I remember finding one of these buggers as a kid in my mum’s backyard, kid me was amazed that there were pink tongues.

I can't believe I have forgotten and overlooked the Pink Tongue Skink, I have heard if them but I forgot about them sadly compared to the Blue Tongue Skink. Awesome video Clint!!!

Hi Clint! Your video years ago introduced me to the pink tongued skink. I just today found one from a breeder! Thank you!

It’s so weird, I’d never heard of these before but I’ve heard about them twice today! These are so cute 😊

Havent even watched the video yet but I'm so happy you're covering pink tongues

The great return of guest animals from "animal ark in Orem Utah" lol been waiting for the day I'd hear that line again

I love that their tongue seems to be more active than the blue tongue. Look at his little tongue go!

Pink tongue Skinks are so cute, right along with Peter's banded skinks

What incredible little creatures. I love them.

Oh MY GOSH It's BEAUTIFUL!!!

Yup, these guys are stinkin rad! They're is one for sale on morph market. I really like them alot. I love watching your videos and the grading scale you use for these animals.

I love your videos so much ty

omg i love my pink tongue skink slinkie!!!!!

Yesssss pink tongues!!! I'm so glad these guys got some attention!

A few months ago I was wondering if you’d do a video on this beauty! Thank you!!

Wow, never even heard of them before- thanks for enlightening me Clint!

Yay!!! I found your name!! Hi Clint, my name is Susan and I love how much you adore your critters!!

This is hilarious because you know what video I just came from was a brand new video from snake discovery where Emily was just informed by somebody who works for her that they had their first blue tongue skink babies and as soon as that video ends this one started for me

Hi Clint you are da coolest KZfaqr along with snek discovery.

Well youre gonna pass the record of 7000 views

I love the blue tongue, but this little one with its pink tongue is absolutely adorable!

These videos are so wholesome

The blelelele is so adorable!

Congrats Clint, you are now going to be known as the guy with the most popular pink tongued skink video!

Great vid man!

Been waiting for this one!

7:35 rare footage, when Tiliqua actually uses it's micro-arms. Cutest move :3

Each time it pulled out it's tongue, I couldn't help making a *Bleh bleh bleh* noise :dddd it's just so kyoooote

In one year u beat the record! Congrats 🎉!

Blue Tongued Potato. That is going to be ingrained in me now.

Your videos are awesome, Subscribed while you're at @ 122k (not enough). Keep posting Clint!

lovin the tongue action, looks like a cartoon! lmao

I would very likely pick these over blue tongues. For sure.

He is the sweetest human being I ever did see

I always loved how skinks look. They are so amazing, and I am so glad I found out about pink tongued skinks ♥○♥

I think there's a plight seen in several species where a perfectly great, awesome pet gets overshadowed by the fact that it's got a close relative with a really distinctive feature and it's the more normal-looking species in that family. I think that's why Reptiliatus' Project Mini Dragon focused on red-eyed crocodile skinks and he only expanded to white-eyed crocodile skinks after getting one by mistake, and I think it's also why so few people know about or have pink-tongued skinks.

The first time I know this animal exist is when I searching Blue Tongue Skinks (my most favorite lizard BTW) picture then I enter Pink Tongue Skink as a joke.

The first pet reptile I wanted was a blue-tongue skink (decided I don't have the space or time for one yet and got some snakes instead) but this lil guy sounds even better! Skinks in general are really hard to come by in Finland where I live, but I'll definitely find out if there are people who have these. Reptile enthusiasts here usually go to expos all the way in Sweden or Germany if they're looking for something as rare as this.

Dude's lizard goin to town on the patreon commercial almost had me sold on it.

That tie, Clint. That’s a sharp tie, my guy

Their legs seem huge when compared to the BTS!

You weren’t lying when you said they would be hard to find! I’ve had the enclosure and everything for almost two weeks now and still haven’t found any for sale. Wish me luck!
