ON mother's day we went to the Grand Rapids Reptile and Exotic show. There wasn't that much compared to other shows. I happen to spot a few blue tongue skinks around the place, of which I have been wanting to get one. Of course it was mothers day so I wasn't going to ask( to much 
) and I held two of the three there. Well, my mom decided to ask the price of one of them that was really friendly. (Although he bit me twice only to find out later he was hungry for he hasn't bit me since) Needless to say in the end my mom paid $60 and we went home with a new friend for me. All I got her was a homemade card though...
Anyway now I'm are wondering. What is Romeo? Cause I know there is different kinds of BTS like Northern, Eastern, Indonesian, etc. I've compared him to them all, but I just can't figure it out. He is 13 inches so maybe you can't tell until he is bigger? Either way, he is still nice and I'm not going to breed him. (I keep calling him a he but really no one knows)
Also does he seem somewhat skinny? I can kinda see the hipbones and the people we got him from said they fed him only lettuce and cat food. I printed a list of food that he can have and I think he likes the variety. I also found he really likes pineapple.
Anyhow sorry for the questions and longness of these words so here are a few pictures of him. We already changed the bedding but at the time we took the pictures we didn't have anything else but papertowel.
After he ate all of his yummy food.
Just showing off why they call him a blue tongue skink
He likes to strike poses. Actually more like sit there and stare at the camera.
Is my tongue blue?
Nom Nom Nom
This is my good side.
I got camera happy didn't I?...
I look awesome from any angle.
I love my mom.
and Romeo.
and all of the other reptiles.
oh and cat.
Edit: I forgot to add he did have some injuries but they are all almost healed. I think he might have been with another BTS at one piont in time. He doesn't seem bothered with them but I still keep an eye.
