Man! I so wish we could get morphs here in the US! I’ve always love Blue-tongues since I was a kid! These would be my dream lizards to own! 😢
Wow those skinks are pretty.
Joe rocks. Love your content featuring Joe and his projects. Truly remarkable.
Man I wish there was a way to get these to the us😢 he does amazing work and it's just getting better with time!
That first one you showed oh my gosh it is I have never thought that skinks were pretty until I saw that one ❤❤
There might be issues in SOME (cold-er?) regions with the new form of outdoor caging. In NZ the so called professionals responsible for the care of some of our largest and most endangered skinks ( I think it was either -or both of- the Otago and Grand skinks ) managed to fatally snap freeze several of them at once in their natural habitat by constructing cages that were off the ground with a space gap and also failed to provide sufficient insulationary substrate.
Admittedly the South Island of NZ is climatically prone to sudden cold snaps and wind chill, but just be aware of this aspect of these sorts of cage designs.
By the same token with heatwaves they may be much more desirable when temps go much ABOVE the climactic norm.
Great video
Wow! That white side (pied) is gorgeous!!🦎❤️
Joe is awesome, the knowledge that man has is top notch
1:07 That is a cool skink.
White side pied, that cool to call it and that is so awesome amazing
Those pied BTS are amazing
Those piers are truly amazing! His whole collection is!!! As always, thanks for sharing.
Joe's Monitors were amazing from a previous video you did.
Insane specimens 🤩
The pied was given to the reptile park and bought by Joe. Joe Ball seems to get all the overseas bird morphs too, as his blue tongues all end up overseas.
The one the reptile park had found in 2020 i believe is a different mutation it has normal scales on the head. Very similar though.
Also don't think you could breed 3 generations in 3 years.
Also you can import some birds into Australia.
As for the morphs overseas people just smuggle them overseas.
Yes, I remember when that animal was found in someone's yard, but the Reptile Park "saved" it. Then it mysteriously ended up being in Joe's collection, same thing with a lot of the other Blue Tongue morphs. He's always the one that ends up with them first. 🤔
@@TheLastGriffin8 you can’t import any of the macaws except from New Zealand and only as companions. They have only recently submitted to amend the live import list and remove most species that have never had an impact assessment done on them. There hasn’t been legal macaw imports for close to 20 years. Blue tongue skinks can breed at 10 months so an adult animal wouldn’t be too hard to generate 3 generations in 4 years.
@@MrCites1 does that mean they many allow bird species to be imported again?
Beautiful
Yessss, another amazing upload...Dave we appreciate the work and content 🙏 super super rad man!!! Thank you
Joes an awsome personality and has reptile knowledge to count on. Murphs are everywhere already shouldnt be hated on to much. It just takes 1 animal to change someones perspectives on caring for animals entirely. That one kid who falls inlove with a designer animal could literally turn into the next wildlife saving hero the planet needs. Whatever connects us humans closer to any animal is a step in the right direction.
Incredibly nice facility - love those outdoor cages.
Joe is a bad ass and has such an incredible collection!
Those lava babies had the sweetest temperaments! So chill and unbothered, which is really rare for a lizard that young.
Awesome skinks! Love your travels!
Yes! Back in Oz. Wish you'd come to the capital, though we only have venomous snakes 🐍 We have an insane amount of eastern blue tongues. No pieds though... Joe! I want one SOO bad! 😳 Your new outdoor bluey setups look great!👍
Joe Ball is a gentleman & a scholar.
I'm blown away every time he posts a new bluey.
Keep up the hard work Joe!
#RattleOn
Those are the coolest skinks, I watched some cool videos of Australia and the have some of the coolest thunderstorms. I wound like go there and watch a cool thunderstorm.
Beautiful lizards. Hope Joe gets lots more unusual morphs. The outdoor cages look good. Have a good new year.
I wish I could have one 😢 they are absolutely beautiful
This is so cool :D
Those r amazing to bad we cant get them in the states
i dig this dude
I need to build an aviary like that!!
I don't know how to thank you for letting us see all these through your eyes Dave. Just Love you brother
Oh the lava!! ❤❤❤
All the way from England proper nice mate would love one of those
We all know they will be in the states soon, just like everything else.
Thanks Dav those are some truely beautiful blue tongues.
GOD BLESS 🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖🦎💖
I wish dav would visit him once every sux months
Dave you are such a badass bro thank you for keeping us updated on all the newest projects and morphs for in the wild adventures and so much more 🎉😊
man somebody needs to get a jet and smuggle these haha
Good to see you back in Aus, Dav. I’d love to see some love for Rankins Dragons or Southern Angle Headed Dragons on your channel on one of your trips 🙂
wow
I love this video! I have a couple of Indonesian blue tongue skinks. I love my skinks. The morphs here are amazing!
Who do we have here? Rainbow Mealworms!
I don't think those UV L.E.D's are ready, should not be considered safe yet, No matter what some manufacturers are saying, we need blood work on them.
💚💜💜💚💜💜💚
Locality morphs 👌🙏
very cool but I still like the natural morphs best, Northerns especialy, but these do look co
Yeah my male blue tongue he loves to come out and bask under the heat light and then he'll go and ask under the UVB light and then go take a little nap and eat food and then just walk around the cage trying to find ways out he scratches the corners look even though he's got like a 5-foot long cage by 3 ft with and like 14 inches tall or something like that so and he has enough to burrow I got them like a sandy soil mix and through and some moss and leave some stuff which he likes to go under the female spends most of the time in what's supposed to be where she sleeps it's a gerbil cage so it's got this little cut off area with like a hole that the gerbil can enter and it's all black and it works perfect and I got a heat mat in there that set at 75 and she seems to love that she comes out and she'll just beat her head out during the day sometimes she'll come out and she'll be out for hours she'll eat she'll go on her basking Rock drink a lot of water and then disappear they have such different personalities I introduced them for the first time and the male seemed very receptive but the female seemed scared so I separated them for the time and I'm going to try again in a couple days first time reading
I already know where some are in America.
Can you get these morphs in the USA
if they had bigger legs they would be even more perfect
mixing northerns with easterns?
I have a question: How are they so far ahead with bts morphs in Australia, I get they've had them longer but is it possible for us in the USA to get to these morphs and if so how?
Lots of work is done illegally an example is a blue tongue was found with an unsual pattern, they post it in the reptile id group in Australia someone either offers them cash for it or for where it was found then they go illegally poach it and within 2 years they are randomly producing a new morph you have to understand in Australia these lizards are everywhere so when someone finds a morph they just take it.
Is it just me or is Joe's accent a mix of Australian and English?
I know Joe and his daughter
Sooo... they are normal tounge skinks now.
👍🫵👊❤️
Why won't my wife let me have a blue tongue skink 😫
Why do they have to imported for the us to have them ? Why can’t we produce them ourselves? Any particular reason ? Or is it just they have a larger gene pool ? I never liked any kind of skink to be honest , they have always been “beginner “ animals in my eyes , now I’m just being honest , these things are actually really cool . Potato’s with legs , 🤷🏻♂️ but very cool
Lots of illegal collection happens in Australia whenever anyone posts an unusual animal photo in the wild
I appreciate this man's work as a breeder. However, I am not interested in any Blue Tongue Skink morphs. I wouldn't buy any of those morphs shown, I bought an Alpine Blue Tongue here in Europe this summer and in my humble opinion the Tiliqua Nigrolutea Alpine form is the most beautiful Blue Tongue Skink species. Why are people so fascinated with mutations, why can't they appreciate what already exists? When it comes to Green Tree Pythons morphs, it is a fact that the "designer" Green Tree Pythons don't have the same lifespan like the normal ones....I would always go for non-mutated type.
Don't get me wrong. I think the wild types are beautiful, but liking morphs isn't necessarily bad thing. As long as they are just natural genetic mutations that don't effect the animals health I don't see why it is a problem. Humanity has many genetic mutations such as red hair, Caucasian skin, certain eye colors. We wouldn't walk up to a red head person or caucasian person and tell them they aren't a "normal" human because they simply look different.
This is how I feel about tegus specifically, but others as well. There's the beautifully colored black and white, red, and blue tegus... but everyone wants an albino?? And all the hybrids and tribrids... are we just going to end up with mud colored tegus eventually??
I have an absolutely GORGEOUS high-white red male. No morph, just natural beauty. I want a VERY blue, blue tegu... but that's the most hybridized species. I mean, there's this naturally occurring BRIGHT BLUE lizard, and everyone wants it to be different? What the heck?
I don't get it either. I love my classic colored animals. I do like some morphs of course but I mean, there's definitely beauty in "normal" reptiles too!
There's a reason why ball pythons got so big and popular over the world is because of the morphs. Morphs make the hobby much more exciting than having a whole collection of random wild types that don't work together, in my opinion. With a collection of project morphs, everything works together and can breed everything to everything
Agreed, I can appreciate some different mutations, but wild types are my favorite. There are so many variations of wild types without getting crazy with selective and intensive breeding.
Some are cool, but its like the ball python market. Everyone is a breeder, too many morphs, over priced & quite frankly are a boring species of lizard to keep. Not as watered down & boring as ball pythons are currently, but still not something I'm interested in what so ever
What makes blue tongues boring ?
Ludicrous that the Aussie government won't revise that nonsense legislation.
