Quite a neat collection of animals this time. No frogs, but plenty of lizards and snakes and turtles. :)
Here's Lauren's new baby beardies.

Some new folks from South Carolina brought their Tiliqua gigas, Indonesian Blue-tongue Skinks. Below is the baby. The parents were rather reclusive in their box full of aspen. They love to burrow so they have substrate they can dig in and places they can hide - lots of carboard tubes. Scale pattern of blue tongue skink. They are loners. Except the adults here seem to have bonded. A side view of an adult. They are fed 3 or 4 times a week, canned dog food, chopped chicken, green beans, fruit. They don't chase their food, they wait for it to come to them and then they swallow it whole. Must be funny, watching them eat green beans! :) Face view - no picture of the tongue though. :(

Here's that neat soft-shell turtle again. He's bigger than last time I saw him!

One Rescue Snake was at the meeting, the darkest Redtail Boa any of us had ever seen. Of course he was also very blue, but even so, he was *dark*. And small. And sorta thin. Another shot of the Rescue Boa. Very friendly, especially for being so deep in shed. Here's his face. And one more shot. I hope he finds a loving home soon.

Here is something I'm not familiar with, a Mole Kingsnake. Very pretty.
