I love her! Picked her up at the Omaha Fall Reptile Show this past October. Her favorite thing to do is eat. I wish I could catch pics of her when she runs after crickets! Too funny!

A friend on mine had a pair and I always loved watching them chase crickets. Their little short legs look so funny! Great pics!
By the way, what all do you feed her?
Feeding - LOL she loves it all -
Mostly I have some romaine, endive, escarole, etc. that I chop in a food processor, add some high quality cat food and a few chopped berries (strawberry and raspberry are favorites) Crickets are a treat every few weeks.

Always liked the bluetongues. Im particularly fond of the gigas sometimes called the New Guinea bluetongue skink. I think, lol. I just always call them gigas.
I have one that has been with me for close to 19 years. You take care of 'em they just keep going.
Oh they do love to eat. And its hilarious to watch them chase roaches. I have a breeding colony of Dubias which I throw in for them now and again. Expert hunters they are not, LOL! But they are determined. At least the insect has a good fighting chance!
Here's a couple pics of my younger female. She is about 3 years old. The dollar is just there for size comparison. Look how much bigger she got!
