Northern Blue Tongues

UPDATED: MAR 2021

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. My breeders are descendants of stock produced by some of the most respected professionals and hobbyists in the industry. Initially I started out only breeding Northerns like many US breeders. Now, I've slowly refined my Northern breeding group down to a select premium few as I transition more of my energy toward my Eastern breeding program. Link

Below are my Northern Blue Tongue breeders and details about each animal.
