Re: blue tongue skinks
Hmm.. I won't vote because I don't have a lot of experience with them. They do grow quite large, but they are typically docile and interesting lizards. I would recommend reading caresheets and researching them.
They are fairly often captive bred, so that is a very good thing.

Re: blue tongue skinks
Well, my 'guyses' ( ) opinion is if you do everything right according to the care sheets, you should be fine. Just be prepared to have room for it when it's full grown.

Re: blue tongue skinks
Shelby, you must have BTS confused with aanother lizard as they are a great beginer lizard that does get much larger than 18" as a adult. I bet your thinken Blue tegu. Blue toungues are a awsome lizard. I keep 1 Gigas BTS he is the best a real treat to hold and will normaly come right up to the glass when I enter the room if he is up and out. One thing with BTS you really need to suck up and pay the extra cash and get a TRUE captive born and bred one not a import.

Re: blue tongue skinks
BTS's can be great if you have the means to properly accommodate them & don't take short cuts. I think an important thing here is offering a varied diet so they don't get "stuck" on one food or another, especially if you start with a young animal.
Do your homework, ask a lot of questions before buying...and good luck!

Re: blue tongue skinks
Python-77, no I'm not confusing it. I've seen big blue tongues. The caresheets say 30". A lizard that will get nearly as long as a 30 gallon tank is big in my book.
