The Blue Tongue Skink obsession continues. Been going back and forth about getting another one for a while, especially with Cypher turning 8 this year. It’s obvious which side won.

Moropiton,

"baby pythons"

Europe and Western Russia, 310-305 m.y.a.

Moropitons, "baby pythons" are primitive Discosauriscidae that spread across Europe shortly before the late carboniferous collapse of tropical forests: this event led to the splitting of moropitons into many new species that inhabited the entire Northern Pangaea and Angara - but the main separation occurred about 306 million years ago due to differences in northern and southern ecosystems. We are talking about two subspecies of moropitons - Pushkin's Moropiton and Dumas' Moropiton.

The southern moropiton, or moropiton Dumas, inhabits the territories of the Czech Republic, France, Germany and other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, preferring the shores of reservoirs. Living under the pressure of large predators, he often burrows into the mud, preferring twilight spearfishing with the help of electroreceptors. Despite this, Dumas' skin is relatively dry, and an adult animal can travel long distances to find the best spawning ground. The size of this subspecies does not exceed 40 cm in adults, but they are rare - Dumas clearly shows neotenia, which eliminates competition with commensurate amniotes. A striking feature of moropitons is their venom, and Dumas best corresponds to it, since this subspecies is convergent to Bombinatoridae*. At the sight of danger, Dumas turns over on his back, showing a striped red-black belly and a bright blue mouth.

Unlike southern moropitons, Pushkin's moropiton grow up to 60 cm and almost do not turn to neoteny. This subspecies appeared later than Dumas, formed during the degradation of the Moscow carboniferous forests 310-308 million years ago: it is adapted to life in dry conditions. They begin their journey in forest reservoirs, where they develop as larvae for 20 years; after that, adults leave for more arid regions. The northern moropiton is less poisonous than the southern one - there are almost no predators in the Moscow forests that could pose a danger, while the habitat conditions are much worse than in European forests. The skin is dry and much better able to tolerate lack of moisture than Dumas; nevertheless, the amphibious nature forces Pushkin to stay close to water sources and in deep burrows/crevices. Pushkin's coloring is faded, reminiscent of that of a Blue-tongued skink the blue mouth remained as a way of communicating with relatives and scaring off predators. Moropitons feed near the seashore, eating up discarded corpses of marine life, and also do not disdain cannibalism and insect hunting.

307 million years ago, forests in Moscow disappeared, and the northern subspecies became extinct; however, part of the population got to Angraida with the help of plant rafts. The southern subspecies dies out later due to competition with its descendants.

So with finally being in a place with enough room space for an enclosure I am saving up for a decent sizable one as definitely settled with the choice of getting a northern blue tongue skink after quite a bit of research.

Both me and my partner are really allergic to different mammal dander/fur and though id love to get a bird somewhere down the line it just makes more sense for now going down the reptile route. (And also need to see how R is around birds up close and if they get any allergen reactions)

Anyway this would be my first time getting a reptile outside of turtles when I was a kid. So I want to get the enclosure and all sorted and proper first and then save up for the skink itself afterwards so hopefully some stage early next year 🤞

[scudismystud]

top 5 reptiles??

OooooooOoooo buckle up buttercup here we go!

1. Bearded dragons. Behold my boy Tad Cooper

2. Ball pythons! I know people are usually afraid of snakes but don’t let that keep you from checking out a ball python. They really are super chill. Someday I will own one 😍

3. Blue Tongued Skinks. I just think they’re neat 😍

4. Anacondas. I seriously love anacondas okay? They recently discovered the Northern Green Anaconda (26 feet long !!!) and this is the guy who discovered it- please enjoy his business casual snake finding outfit.

5. Leopard Geckos. The always look like they’re smiling and I need that in my life.

Gershwin is loving digging in his fresh substrate. Another hobby of his is Window, although he normally needs help to reach it

My Northern Blue Tongue Skink, Fable, has been in a medical quarantine enclosure for the past week while healing some cuts on her back legs/belly, and she is being rather good while I have to handle her and get her on her back to clean her wounds and put some ointment on them. Right now she's shedding, and her shedding scales came off like beautiful large flakes of glitter (though not sparkly) and I wish I'd taken a picture. I tried to save them, but they were so fragile they kind of crumbled in my hands. It was cool to see though, because I never see her shed since her bioactive enclosure keeps her humidity perfect (with daily misting) and the CUC eat the shed skin--isopods and other detritivores love snake and lizard skin! It was cool to see her shed, and I'm glad that, even in her medical setup, she's still having no problems shedding. I've been so worried about her, because the first few days, the wounds were opening up and bleeding again every time she moved, but it's definitely showing signs of healing now. I want to get her back to her enclosure so she can feel safer and more comfortable and enjoy how I intend to redo some of her enclosure, like her basking spot, and adding some plants.

Pet keeping brings me so much joy, even though it can also be super frustrating at times too.

neumann being very cute :) hes our 7 months old orange line northern blue tongue skink :)

hes so friendly and sweet, hes been handleable literally from day 1, he loves to climb and explore and LOVES to eat. so much so that he comes RUNNIN to the door when you have food. he isnt picky at all, anything you put in front of him is GONE within seconds.

he has learned that climbing the glass means ill come give him attention, so ill come open the door and he either climbs out juuuust a tiny bit onto my hand if he wants head pets or fully onto my arm if he wants to get on the bed. he usually just asks for a few pets and when hes satisfied hell turn back around and do it again about 30 seconds later lol.

extra fun fact, i put him on my desk a couple of times and Before he decided to bulldoze everything on it, he loved looking out the window and would cock his head and watch the cars and people go by
