are BTSs extinct?

coluberking25 Apr 21, 2006 01:56 PM

well are they? I havent seen any posts about BTSs in a while, just like one or two. I really would like to learn as much as I can about these fascinating lizards. I must've checked out www.bluetongueskinks.net about 20 or more times. I cant view the videos because my computer stinks. Can you recommend me any good books on keeping BTSs? Or anything where I can get more info on them?

Bluetongueskinks.net is the mecca of blue tongue information. I, myself am a regular and the community is very much alive and buzzing. Zach at BTS.net is selling what we call the Bluey Bible which is a translated textbook all about Blueys.

I do understand that bts.net is the mecca. I printed out the entire caresheet from the site! And I did see the Bluey Bible being advertised, but didn't know what it was. Why I didn't check it out, I don't know, but now I think I will! Maybe this will rekindle my interest in these awesome reptiles.

PS-Nice pic! I'm guessing that's your Sausage Girl?

I've been emailing Zach because I cannot get into the Bluey Book, which he has told me is just the guest book.
