Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

breeding blue tongues
I have 3 adult blue tongue skinks housed together all year around in a 75 gallon custom built tank. They have been together for about 4 years and suddenly last year they decided to mate. The female took quite a beating, but survived to deliver 9 healthy, happy babies. The male has just started courting her again and I'd like to see her produce more babies, but without as much damage as last year. Any suggestions as to how I can minimize wounds, but not intefere so much as to prevent mating?
Thanks

I have read numerous times that you should house your blue tongues separately, because of the injuries that can occur during breeding. The male will nip the female during breeding and can inflict serious wounds. the female after breeding, can sometimes attack the male. Make sure you clean any cuts that may have been inflicted on your animals. In the past I have put the male/female together only under supervision and when they were finished during their thing, separated them. A few days later I placed them together again. Just make sure that their enclosure remains very clean to reduce the risk of infections from any open cuts they may have. good luck. have any for sale ? -bill

I'm just getting finished with a new set-up that will separate all of my blue tongues. I'm pretty sure my female is pregnant now, I just have to wait until she gives birth...probably next month is my guess and then I will post the babies.

Do you cool your BTSs down before you breed them?

no I hadn't...at least not intentionally. I guess the weather gets colder outside and my house is colder so their tank may be a little colder. Also, they have access to the sunlight coming in through the glass door so the light cycle outside might have had something to do with it. I really didn't plan for it this (or last) year. I think in the future, I will cool them down if I wanted to breed again.
