Talk:Blue-tongued skink

Untitled
2 things: Why does it say "apples" under Notes? and, "The eastern blue tongue can have up to 12 babies and grows up to 2ft (60cm)." - unless the article is referring to some other skink, the Eastern Bluetongue does NOT get anywhere near that size!! -aq

I'm not sure the proper place to suggest this, but the website/forum of http://bluetongueskinks.net should be added as a place to get proper information and contacts for blue tongue skinks and blue tongue lizards (et al). I have attempted to place links to this article before, and it's content continually changes, and waxes and wains in both fact and opinion frequently.

This current Wiki article is informative on the level of the basic and natural skink (tiliqua) history and taxonomy, and I feel it is a disservice to exclude any reference or links to proper care and keeping to those users that desire such information. Bluetongueskinks.net is not a for-profit nor advertising website, it is administrated, moderated and maintained by the small but most important names in study and breeding in America and abroad. The members and breeders are interested only in keeping the tiliqua genus natural and unmodified, simply for the sake of keeping this rare and unimportable bloodline active and interesting beyond the borders of Australia, and attempting to inform and educate agains the import of non-Australian species also commonly overlooked both in science and the petkeeping trade.

Please consider restructuring the Wikipedia page to include information from our forum and other genuine references which support fact and educational information.

The above is instructional and casual in tone. Also reference-less. Should not be included in articlespace. --ZayZayEM (talk) 10:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Blue tongue lizard concerns
Blue tongue lizards love to eat snails, and as such if you poison snails with snail poison, the blue tongue lizards (or skinks) may eat a poisoned snail, then die of poisoning themselves. I see this as a environmental concern to blue tongues. I have a female blue tongue skink, and she is at no harm. besides, she was very young when I got her, and I couldn't give her snails, so I found another source of protein for her. I am an experienced handler and I take good care of her and know a lot about reptiles.Lillian6687 (talk) 06:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
