Here is a couple of pics of a newly acquired BTS youngster, purchased from Penfold.
He's (or she's) a feisty little beggar....
I apologise about the pics, my dog decided to lear over the back of me (I was laying on the floor) and something tells me the BTS saw him  , so I didn't have time to mess about with the camera.

Cute bluey  It's a tanimbar blue tongue skink (TILIQUA SCINCOIDES CHIMAEREA).Be sure to keep on top of handling at this age every day if possible if you want a tame pet bluey .Tannie's are a fiery bluey species and if you don't get him/her tame in it's baby days you will end up with a grumpy adult bluey a lot worse than any other bluey species. |

That's interesting, it was sold to me as a Tiliqua Intermedia. I'll double check with the supplier. Not that I am too fussed either way.

I am not doubting you. I was just mentioning what it was sold to me as. 
I've already started reading on the differences.
