Photos of the 2016 Yearlings

I took photos of my yearlings (born 2016) today. These guys were not made available last year and ended up brumating for over 4 months after the move to the new house in fall. They’re awake now, eating well (they’re always happy to clean up the extras from the new baby meals), and aside from Photos of the 2016 Yearlings

2017 Baby Photospam

Good evening friends! I spent this evening taking a million or so photos of all the baby blue tongues here. I still need to compile the photos properly and make an availability page, plus get photos of the remaining yearlings here, but in the meantime please enjoy these photos.

Houston, We Have Babies!

Babies so far in 2017 (with example photos): 15 Classic Northerns from two unrelated litters! 12 Irian Jayas from two related litters!

Unfortunately all of my Meraukes slugged out this year, so this year will only Houston, We Have Babies!

Different Skinks

Good evening ME visitors. I’m here to announce some new skink additions to the ME family. Before I do I’m sure everyone is wondering what’s happening with the 2016 baby season. All I’m going to say right now is that you probably want to be on the ME Mailing List in the next few days… Different Skinks

2016 So Far

Greetings and salutations. And apologies that this update was so long in coming. The 2016 breeding and baby season has not gone precisely as planned. There have definitely been ups and downs, but it’s not over quite yet (I think). I’ll try to summarize all the 2016 happenings here at ME so far. This post 2016 So Far

Introducing the Burn Babies

In October I received a call from a local reptile friend asking if I was interested in providing a home for a skink. He works at a chain petstore and they had received a baby blue tongue from their supplier with some ugly burns on his head. My friend had already started treating it, but Introducing the Burn Babies

Breeding Season Approaches!

It’s just about time to start trying to pair up the fall-breeding species here at ME, and brumation is starting for most of the other animals. We had no babies here in 2015, but could be overrun this year if all goes well. Fingers are crossed! Possible babies in 2016 include: -Northern & Caramel Northern Breeding Season Approaches!
