We're is yalls place out of I live in fl just getting I to blues I don't breed them got my 1st last week he's a juvenile but learning as much as I can I do breed hognose snakes and have had many other lizards but I love learning about these and may breed at some point but I'm a hobbiest not in it for money but would love to visit and learn from you guys I live In Psl just curious if you allow visitors and we're ya at God bless you guys
It's so great that you're giving an update how they're doing! When something new is tried it's nice to see did it work? What didn't work and what did? I appreciate the stuff you said about the reason for hybridization. I am curious how their care differentiates, since I've heard their care slightly differs. I don't own a skink, just wondering. Anyway, I love that you did this update!
Thanks! The care for the hybrids is not any different than for a regular northern Blue Tongue. We have friends that have produced hybrids and they are healthy as can be.
I wouldnt say anywhere but most of california would be ideal imo. The weather is great over there. You just have to have an understanding of the husbandry and their natural environment before trying to implement this
They eat the bugs :) as far as parasites, we have never had that issue from keeping animals outdoors but if it arises then we treat them like anything else... Gotta remember that these animals are exposed to all sorts of bugs and parasites in the wild and they do fine.
@@TikisGeckos Yes I understand wild animals are exposed to nature, but ur a breeder. So I was more so wondering what protective measures ur taking to make sure ur not contaminating other peoples collections. There’s a reason some people choose not to purchase wild caught, so not speaking badly of your setup, I might be interested in doing it in the future. I was genuinely asking as a consumer. It’s definitely something to consider for me, especially as my animals are in close proximity to each other. Some people wouldn’t even dare to put their reptiles on the actual ground much less raise them there. Not saying ur wrong and they’re right, just asking you to remember your perspective isn’t the only one out there when ur looking at a scenario. 🙏😊
I would not care about hybridizing just because they're so close to each other than the fact that you can transfer that Gene over to the northern is even better
Love seeing this outdoor setup, and all of the new crosses and projects you guys are working on! so cool!
These blue tongue skinks are stunning and the outdoor enclosures are an amazing idea. I love seeing the stuff you guys are working on.
Thanks borhter!
I hope you do a vid when the babies arrive! They'll be so cute!!!
We sure will!
I remember seeing them at the Tampa Repticon last year!
Great stuff as always. I love all the outdoor enclosures you guys do! Using that beautiful Florida weather to your advantage 💪🏼
We have to! haha
Awesome job guys! Can't wait to see your results 😁 it's about time people start normalizing hybridization
Still like the crested geckos more, but great episode BIG DOGGIE 💯👣
a must have

Could you have these outdoor enclosures anywhere? For example California and just add weather barriers when it rains or when it’s too cold?

How do u prevent bugs and parasites from entering their enclosure?
