Introducing
Marvelous Mystique. What makes my pet special are many things. He
is a beautiful lizard, a northern eastern blue tongue skink. These lovely
creatures have a blue tongue that is wonderful to see. Unlike the common
household pet, mine is a reptile!
He is my first lizard. This species of reptiles can live up to 25 years in
captivity. They are omnivorous. he eats insects like snails witch are his
favorite. Also eats fruit-loves bananas lol. He also can eat pinkies, which
are frozen baby mice but i never feed him that. I feed him raw chicken as
well and even frozen vegetables.
He is a very laid back pet. I am very fortunate that he is this way. He is
fun to have and shows affection toward me. He sleeps a lot lol. Although they
are independent animals, it is common in households to own and keep two in
the tank. But it's not recommended, as they can be aggressive toward each
other. They do like to bury themselves under mulch to hide. Mine stays out in
the open because he is very comfortable with me and feels safe. The coolest
fact about this specific reptile is that they are born "live" and not hatched
from eggs. They give birth once a year. I hope you enjoy meeting him.
