Meet Blue!

Don't those boys look happy, they have a new critter! He is a New Guinea Blue Tongue Skink and the boys have been having a lot of fun learning all about him.  One of their national buddies found it while walking and while they didn't think much of it our boys were thrilled to bring him home, give him a name and raid my fridge to feed him.  They have discovered that he is an omnivor, which is a good thing, that means we do not need to catch live things to feed it unlike the snake we are looking after, RATS!  The boys can often be seen packing him around and have discovered he is a burrower so would be happy to climb into your shirt.  Kaleb made him a little pocket that he likes to climb into.  He is a pretty slow mover and is really mild tempered although Kaleb was feeding him mango this morning off his finger and the finger got in the way and got a few chomps!  And yes his tongue really is blue!

Blue decided that he really liked Carters belt loop and any time he is tucked under his shirt likes to climb through them.  I think we should call him loopy.  OK I think he is pretty cool to!
