Carl
Father
Carl is a Classic Northern in a High Orange phase. He is obsessed with me more than any other skink. He will actually follow me to another room if I go. He was produced by James Wilson with classic genes originating from Jeff Greene's line. Born in 2016.
Cinnamon
Mother
This is a baby produced by Dave’s Skinks in 2020. She is a specialty morph from parents Tequila, T+ Caramel, and Charlie Manson, 75% Sunrise x 25% Red. That makes her 50% T+ Caramel, 37.5% Sunrise, and 12.5% Red. 2022 will be her first attempt at breeding where we can confirm gender, at the very least.
Dinobot
Mother
Dinobot was my first Blue Tongue and she stole my heart in April 2007. She features standard coloring, a Y-banded pattern, and features Blood Red iris' Coming from a pet shop her origin is unknown but she is most likely a Captive Born (not bred) or possibly a wild-caught, but was still a baby when I took her home.
George
Father
George is a Red Irian Jaya produced Ray Gurgui and Thunder Bay Herps in 2010. He is the only one to regularly respond to his name.
Gladys
Mother
Gladys came to us from a keeper down in Florida when she was a year old. Irian Jayas have a wide array of what would be considered "standard coloration" and within that spectrum lies her cream-light phase. With different temperatures and moods, her coat can emphasize a yellow coloration which has been known to display in her offspring. She was born in 2016.
Goldilocks
Mother
Goldilocks is the nicest and most easy-going of all my blue tongues. She really has that “dynamite personality” everyone seeks. She lost her tail and a few toes from a cramped housing situation when she was a baby. I took her in when she was already 7 years old. She is a pure Sunrise sold by Australian Addiction Reptiles, made from the genetics Seike Reptiles' Sunrise line.
Hermione Granger
Mother
Hermione is a fine example of a Classic Northern in Light phase. She was produced by Little Fires Gecko House. Half of her genetics come from LFGH and half from an unrelated classic by Captive Bred Excellence. Born in 2018
Jasper
Father
Jasper is a really good Northern (Tiliqua scincoides intermedia) boy born right here at Dave’s Skinks in May 2021. His parents are (mother) Goldilocks, 100% Sunrise and (father) Charlie Manson, 75% Sunrise x 25% Red. That makes Jasper’s genetics 87.5% Sunrise x 12.5% Red. He is super yellow! He’s got yellow on his spine bars, yellow lips, yellow tones in his tail, back legs, and face. And a motivated breeder with ferocious appetite for the larger ladies.
Jellybean (Jelly)
Mother
Jelly is a pure Classic Northern, and a true representation of a natural Tiliqua scincoides intermedia one might find out in the wild of Northern Territory of Australia. She produced our first multi-birthday-birth last year delivering 9 healthy babies on the 4th of July, 2 more a week later, and one additional baby a week after that. She was born in 2019.
John Wayne
Father
John Wayne was produced here in-house from Katherine Night and Jasper, two totally unrelated specialty-morph Northern Blue-Tongued Skinks. John Wayne was a very special baby. Lost the tip of its tail living in the colony as a baby, but this baby could shine. Banana yellow. No dark side bands. Good personality who wanted to crawl from shoulder to shoulder. I don't do holdbacks that often, but I was holding onto this one. The little youngster developed under my care. Easy to pick up and give pets on the back. The yellow body tones faded into a more salmon color but light banana yellow remained in the spine bars. Some side bands grew in, but I was still gonna include it in in the breeding project. We're headed in the right direction. Now, I always wait until I confirm gender before giving the skink its name. I had suspicions this one was a boy, but one can never be too sure. So took it out, and had it sit in my lap for a number of rounds of breeding so he could see how it's done. After a couple weeks, he started to get antsy in his enclosure, pacing, when I'd come in for the other skinks. Time to see if he has what it takes to satisfy a lady. Kinsuki was my top choice for him. I put them together. And I could tell he was excited but a bit timid. And she was luke warm and a little intimidating herself. He approached with a very modsest amount of confidence, and found a way to mount her withour biting her sides and shoulders. Once he locked in, he really road her like a rodeo. Anyway, they had 7 kids in 2024. But that's the story of how he got his name.
Karen
Mother
Classic Northern (Tiliqua scincoides interermedia) acquired from Living Art in Pennsylvania, after they bought out some of the Sweet Arrow Reptiles stock around the time of their closing. Karen was born in June 2015. She is an experienced mother and delivered her first litter of 8 babies for us in 2023. Fairly nice, just a little speedster. She is above average in size and stature. Her significant reduction in traditional dark side bands are what caught my eye.
Katherine Night
Mother
Katherine Knight was named after the famed Australian murderer because of her extra spicy attitude during adolescence. She is still extra grouchy except when she's pregnant. In the months of February - June she becomes the sweetest angle in the world thanks to hormones. She is a specialty morph with half genetics T (positive) Caramel and half Fenn Orange. Produced by Deb's Exotic Blue Tongues in 2016.
Large Marge
Mother
This keeper identified her as also being a 50/50 T+ Caramel x Fenn Orange cross that came from Deb in 2016. I was able to connect with Deb's daughter and confirm that there was only one pairing with those genes that year, and she does recall there being another Illinois order that year when working with her mom. This confirms that not only is Large Marge my largest blue tongue, and not only sisters of Katherine Night, but litter mates as well.
Logan
Mother
Logan is a gorgeous beauty from James Fenn. She is a Northern (Tiliqua scincoides intermedia) and her genetics are 50% Magma x 50% Red. She is Magmar’s half-sister. Born in July 2021, she came to us when she was just a few weeks old and we’ve been raising her ever since. Logan is super nice, docile, and enjoys slowly taking her slinky body over mountains and mole hills (comparative size of course). Her vibrant red colors reduced dat size banding make her an ideal contributor towards our Northern breeding project.
Magmar
Mother
Magmar is the second generation born of James Fenn's Magma line. She is the reddest adult Blue Tongue we have (but stay tuned) The Magma gene is not to be confused with the more common Red gene. She was born in 2019.
Mr. Egghead
Father
Mr. Egghead is a beautiful example of a Classic Northern in a Light Phase. Sometimes he appears more cream or salmon depending on his mood. He is what is considered a "sub" male. He hasn't quite figured out how sex works but we're still trying. He was also produced in 2016 by James Wilson and is the brother and littermate of Carl.
New Girl
Mother
New Girl was produced here by Dave’s Skinks. She is the first holdback we've kept and raised to adulthood and put back into our breeding stock. She was produced by Katherine Night, a T+ Caramel x Fenn Orange and Charlie Manson, a stunning 75% Sunrise and 25% Red Northern who now lives in Pennsylvania at Sundancer Farms. New Girl's genetics are 37.5% Sunrise, 25% T+ Caramel, 25% Fenn Orange, 12.5% Red. She was born in 2019
Stella
Mother
One of the few Centralian Blue Tongue Skinks in America. The only Blue Tongue to do a rolling tongue flicker. Stella's bloodline comes from the Western Territory state of Australia. Born in 2016.
Tequila
Mother
Tequila is the smallest of all my Northern blue tongues. She max's out at 650 grams and 18 inches. She is a pure T (positive) Caramel with a dark iris. She was produced by Thunder Bay Herps, but raised by Morph Graphic Reptiles her first year before coming to me in 2018.
