My First Blue Tongue!

[GeckoStud]

I'm so stoked he is such and awesome little guy. I picked him up at the local Cheswick show from a local breeder I know. I was really surprised to find three young ones, said to be only 2 weeks or months old (I can't really remember :main_huh: ). He's only about 8 inches long and is the coolest little thing, he is so chill. I don't have a name for him yet but I'm working on it. If anyone has any pointers on how to keep him or what to feed him give a heads up . Right now I have him in a 15 gal tank with a small UV light and a Heat lamp, temps at the basking spot are a little under 90 degrees. He is being kept on coconut fiber.

Cool! I had a pair of blue tongues a few years ago. They have a lot of personality.

I think I may have found a few name ideas too. I was looking into Aborigone mythololgy and found some "lizard gods" two of which were lizards with blue tongues. Those two were lazy thieves according to their legends too lol. Their names were Lungkata and Mita. There was another spirit named Goanna, who's legend I couldn't really find. Then there was a set of igauna twins that became the constallation Gemini, Mumba and Kurukadi.

Which one do you guys like the best, I'm leaning towards Mita, but I may go with something plain like George too

I don't know why, but when I look at him I want to call him "Tank" lol
