I GOT ONE!!! BTS at last!

[Argentra]

After 11 years of wanting and wishing... fate has delivered the herp I've dreamed of owning!

This evening, I adopted an adorable 3 month old Blue Tongue Skink from a family that was splitting up/moving. I got him for only $50!
I believe he's a Northern, since he has a slight pink shading to his sides and his brown is rather light. I'll get some pictures tomorrow, after he's had a chance to warm up and settle in.

True, in order to accept this little guy I've had to agree to find a new home for my rabbit. But, seeing as the bun is shedding and Ari is showing signs of being allergic to rabbit fur/dander... that's not that terrible a thing. I just have to post him and all his EQ on Craigslist and look for a good, worthy owner.

But... YAY! I have a BTS!!! Now, gimmie all the care suggestions and advice you can!

Congrats, they are alot of fun. We have a 6 month old Northern who is quite the little goof ball.
Anyway, here's a good site with a care sheet and lots of other goodies.

Have fun with your little guy.

OOOO I love BTS! Especially Northerns! Bummer about the bunny. But I think you will LOVE the BTS...I think they are one of the most over-looked lizards. They have just as much personality as a Bearded Dragon. I've been juggling the idea of gettin one for some time. Congrats again!

Thanks. And I've been a member of that forum for a year or so now. It's a great place with very good caresheets and advice.

I'll try to get some pictures of him later this afternoon.

BTS are amazing lizards. I think that you will find your new addition to be ten times better than you imagined.
