Insect Direct Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 http://www.parrots.co.nz/forsale.cfm could be worth a try otherwise they tend to pop up more around summer time in shops, trademe on here even . . someone else may know of some closer to you though, good luck and welcome to the forum :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amb44 Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 thanks mincie this will be my first foray into reptiles, from what i've researched so far they do make good pets right? as in, they generally enjoy the company of people?

nic8080 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi amb44, A bluey is a fantastic choice for a pet IMHO. I would recommend that you get one as young as you possibly can and handle it a lot and it should tame down pretty quickly. I tend to take mine out of his tank whenever I'm doing anything which isn't too dangerous for him to be involved in and he is nice and placid and has never bitten me or displayed at me at all. If you can only find an adult, it's still possible that you'll end up with a nice friendly pet, but you might have to work a bit harder with your handling. A fantastic website with all the BTS info you'll ever need is at www.bluetongueskinks.net. -nicola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
