| YELLOW TANIMAR ISLAND BLUE TONGUES (Tiliqua Scincoides Chimaerea) FOR SALE | |||||
| ID# | PHOTO | PARENTS | NOTES | PRICE | STATUS |
| 08YW3 | Ask for photos | Dimmesdale and Hester | The yellows in the past on the other hand become yellow in varying degrees of lightness or darkness. Some become nearly brown, very unlike the silvers. However this year with two of the brightest yellows they should come out very nice. | 350 (free over-night shipping! A 60-70 dollar value!) | available |
| 08YW4 | Dimmesdale and Hester | The yellow species of Tanimbar traditionally were larger than their silver counterparts. I would avoid crossing them unless you wish to risk producing lesser quality animals for the general public who in turn may breed them further destroying what little stock we have left. If you want an impressive and rare skink for a pet or breeder these are the ones to get. | 350 (free over-night shipping! A 60-70 dollar value!) | available | |
| 08YW5 | Dimmesdale and Hester | I do have a few more unlisted by they are either smaller, in shed or not as vibrant. I will try to put them out when they are ready. If you are interested in more than one I'll give you a price break. If you get three or more then expect a larger one. | 350 (free over-night shipping! A 60-70 dollar value!) | available | |
| SUNSET (PURE ORANGE) NORTHERN BLUE TONGUES (Tiliqua Scincoides Intermedia) FOR SALE | |||||

| 08JJ1 | Joey and Josey | These are the best of the best of what I could produce by breeding Joey and Josey, my two best Sunsets. It is truly difficult to capture the true color of these skinks on camera. What makes them truly amazing is their color. On a normal classic Northern you'll see areas on the back of the neck, head, arms and tail that are normally tan. On a sunset the entire skink is orange. | $1500 or BO | Available | |
| 08JJ2 | Joey and JoeyxMolly | Even under its head or neck it will be orange. It seems to me from years of owning, keeping & occasionally breeding these orange Northerns that females appear less colorful than their male counterparts. Still if you breed the female it does carry the orange gene & will produce orange babies depending on the mate you pair her up with. I would however invest in improving the color rather | $1500 or BO | Available | |
| than washing it out by breeding him/her with a classic which will result in semi-orange babies. These two babies however will grow increasingly more beautiful with age as their genetics are extremely strong. If you would like these two or more I can make you an amazing deal. I am also interested in trades. See below. | |||||
| BLUE TONGUES AVAILABLE 2010 - for updates check my blue tongue skink forum (bluetongueskinks.com or bluetongueskinks.org) |
|
High Yellow Tanimbars - Several currently available. $350 each! Yellow Tanimbars - Possible pairings of yellow/gold/brownish Tanimbars starting at $250. I have a yellow Tanimbar that is an import brought in a few years ago. I'm excited that these might be paired with my own yellows in the future to diversify the limited bloodlines we have of this yellow/brown/gold phase. None born this year but have hold backs from last year. James Wilson Caramels - These two caramels are the last two ever produced by James Wilson himself. If I am lucky, I may have one clutch of babies available for sale. They will be $250 each and I'm sure just be a few as you never know how many the mom will produce. Merauke Faded-Blue Tongues - This project has been suspended. Sunset Skinks - Orange Northerns - Neo and Josey and some undisclosed Sunset oranges have been paired. Hopefully I'll have a few babies available for approximately $1500. Classic Northerns - I've had many successful breedings of many classic Northerns. This may be the most diverse year I'll ever have from many different bloodlines but you never know. Regardless I hope to have at least a few dozen available with a great variety of appearance for $125 and up. |

| ATTICUS | Atticus is nearly colorless and a true hypo
animal unlike all these other people who claim their animals are "hypo" this
or "melanistic" that. It's all nonsense and exaggeration to make a sale most
of the time. You be the judge.
Size wise Atticus, Ish and Jill are by far the largest Northerns I have ever seen. This old guy has not an impure trait I can find and I've examined him for years. I'm lucky he even bred and produced something! |

| MAUDIE | Maudie is one of my own babies grown up. Her
parents are Maurine and Charlie. She was one of the darkest babies of that
year which I sold to a special friend. I seriously gave this guy some of the
best babies I had that year. He got out of skinks and I bought her along
with all the other skinks I sold him.

| NE | I personally think this skink is one amazing
animal that truly reminds me of Ezra who passed away recently. He has Ezra's
clear, white-as-snow throat and perfect back and side patterns typical of a
strong Northern. Watch out for supposed Northerns with really clearly banded tails. Northerns should have blur patterns in between the lighter rings. Tails from skinks from Indonesia have pretty clean banding without this blur. You can even see the Meraukes below and compare their tails with the Northern ones. Go to the net and look at these breeders - if you ask most of them wont show you their parents of the babies they have. I wonder why? Besides if they did show you some pictures can you honestly trust them? So it pays to buy from a reputable source rather than the cheapest deal on the net especially if you plan on keeping that skink for what, 20 years? |

| BREEDING PICTURES TAKEN IN 2008 |
![]() Silver Tanimbar Male 2 Breeding - Note how near white these two look! (And these are indoor photos!) |
![]() Both Yellow Tanimbars are in a state of shed. You can see the actual color of the male yellow Tanimbar on its back. The yellow female is in complete shed but you can see her actual color on the Yellow Tanimbar Page. You thought the female was amazing? Isn't the male's color unbelievable? Remember these are also INDOOR photos. I can't wait to see how the babies grow up and how vibrant they'll be! |
![]() Joey is definitely one of a kind. Josey isn't looking too pretty today especially in this lighting but she's normally amazing to behold. I don't remember what happened to Joey's tail but it happened during his first few weeks of life. Now tell me, isn't Joey's babies worth more than your average orange Northern and worth the money to own? |
![]() This is my stunning male Merauke. You can see how the male only has a handful of bands on its back and how there is an absence of spotting that is so typical of many Meraukes you'll see today. He's in shed so this is not the best picture.The female is also quite pretty. She's has a very nice pink/beige hue throughout her body. |
![]() My James Wilson Caramels and his last two holdbacks he sold me before his retirement. They produce beautiful, strong and large babies. |
| TRADES? |
