Northern Blue Tongue Skink
This is our new 0.0.1 BTS we got last week. I'm still letting him get acclimated; he's huffy and tries to bite, so he'll take a little working with. He's only a month old, so not unexpected. But he's eating well and seems to be adjusting.

I see you have a pair of Irian Jayas. Being a rookie with them, I went with the Northern since they're supposed to have a better temperament, plus they're more readily found captive bred. But I think the IJ and Meraukes have much nicer colors.

I got somewhat lucky with my male, he was a long term captive that was part of a breeding program, so he was tame from the day that we got him. The female I assume was W/C or "farm raised" and her attitude showed it, but after month of getting her on a regular feeding schedule and some trust building she calmed right down as well. They are awesome lizards to keep.
