NortHern Blue Tongues
UPDATED: January 2024
Northern Blue Tongue Skinks
(Tiliqua scincoides intermedia)
Northerns are an absolutely fantastic choice for a pet blue tongue skink. They are the number one most recommended pet blue tongue species in the US for good reason. Northerns are hardy, large, and most have great temperament. These are also a popular starter breeder for many skink enthusiasts as they are the most simple to breed.
Quality, purity, and diversity are keys to success in any captive breeding program. Our breeders are descendants of stock produced by some of the most respected professionals and hobbyists in the industry. Initially we started out only breeding Northerns like many US breeders. Over the past few years we've slowly refined our Northern breeding group down to a select premium few as we transition more of our energy toward our Eastern breeding program. Link
Below are some of our Northern Blue Tongue Skinks and details about each animal.
