We had Blue Tongue Babies!

- A week ago we had a birth in the Wicked Wildlife family, with nine baby Eastern blue tongues being born.
In this video we set them up in their own outdoor enclosure and offer them their first meal before they prepare to move on to new homes with new families

Great job 👌🏻👌🏻🦎🐢🐊🐍🐸
You have a future UA-camr on you hands 🤣
She’s already planning a take over I think 😂
@@WickedWildlife Watch your back 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wonderful. Congratulations. I have encountered many eastern blue outside Horsham by 3 klms towards Dimboola. Never found a single one here, (20 acres , near Wail State forest, in 23 years). Lots of stumpy, lots of bearded dragons, goanna GALORE, but no eastern blue skinks. 43 years in general area, not one. Weird. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria.
As you get further north the shinglebacks certainly seem to handle the conditions better then the eastern blue tongues, once you get into big desert national park and north through into western NSW you also start to get western blue tongue lizards, although they are considered threatened here in Victoria
@Wicked Wildlife It is like a line. I'm on wrong side. Any stumpy that I get, I catch. Check for any obvious damage, remove ticks from ears, release. All that I can do. Occasionally, I weaken. Offer a snail, I don't know if they hang around in area, but everyone has an individual pattern like a fingerprint. I have never thought to photograph one. Sure that had one pair a couple of times. " The Last Tasmanian Tiger.' By Robert Paddle is a good book. My science teacher 50 years ago. Gifted my first reptile by him. A little white lipped snake. He is wonderful. Never forgot him. Made me never forget the value of conservation. We lose so much through ignorance and simple greed. Makes me sad. I'll try and squeeze out 5 dollars a month into patrons. On newstart at 63, but if it keeps one single native animal alive, Another enclosure, rep or vet for native animals, I'm in.
Gorgeous bubbies! Grats!
Never heard of that mulch.. did a quick search on "yukki mulch" and found it is Euci (eucalyptus) Mulch haha! Interesting. What reptiles, amphibians, inverts would it be safe for? I assume only the more arid-based ones.
I’ve used it for most animals, for arid species I mix it 50/50 with some desert or course river sand
For species that need more humidity I mix it 50/50 with Peat moss
Beautiful little lizards Nick your little helper loves em too cheers mate
She’s determined to keep them😅
I want one now.
Everyone needs a blue tongue in their life!
@@WickedWildlife just eat a kabluey those round blue lollies with gum inside that made your tongue blue, we had them in school in the 90s. lol

Squeeeeee my fav! So gorgeous x
It’s hard NOT to love blue tongues!
@@WickedWildlife yours are so chilled. The ones I had on my block in Darwin were always so feisty…
Ooh I love bluey's❤️❤️❤️
Every one blueys! 😊
Another great video mate!
Thanks mate!
Wicked nice! Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Also good as little girl enclosures! 🤣
Except the cheeky bugger can get out! Need a sturdier zip maybe 😂
Amazing!!!! Extra adorable little babby blue tongues!
They certainly are adorable! Not the worst surprise to have in a morning
Congrats. My Flinders Island Blotched Bluetongues are having lots of babies now. Every day for the last 3 days I search the 6 m x 6 m outside enclosure for babies. Getting 5 or 6 a day. It is fairly overgrown this year due to the loss of my winter lawn mowing guinea pig that died after only 1 month on the job. He was the winter lawn mower for 5 or 6 years. Working away while the lizards sleep through winter. He was removed each Spring when the lizards wake up. A small plywood enclosure, 1.2 x 1.2m, inside the large enclosure is the nursery for the babies. It is covered with a piece of corrugated polycarbonate that I slide back and forth depending on the weather. It produces a bit of a mini greenhouse effect, keeps them a bit warmer and dryer. It is across with a small gap during winter to keep the babies dry. As you also know it is always fun to find baby bluetongues.
Love the channel! Keep up the good work. Ill have to check out the chameleon enclosures now..
Were these the bubs you were telling me about at the expo last week? Absolutely stunning mate can't go wrong with blue tongues if I lived in Vic I definitely would of brought one mate
They certainly are!
3 have found homes so far, all with Patreon supporters so I’m sure the rest will move on soon enough
Oh they will always love baby blue tongues hope you had a good time at the expo and it was good to meet you and have a conversation with you was one of my highlights even tho I couldn’t buy anything I still had a good day
wow that popup chameleon looks handy.
is it waterproof and easy to clean tho?
I’ve had mine outdoors for years ver 12 months, the bottom is mesh so it doesn’t get too damp in there but just need to be mindful the grass could grow through them
The only other water related issue is on the big ones I find the rain pools on the covered half of the lid abit, neither issue applied if your using them just as a day sunning enclosure and packing them up, which is what it’s really designed for
I’ve also found the colour has faded a little, but again I’ve really given these things some abuse 😂
@@WickedWildlife wow thanks for the info, I might grab one too when I get the chance
Hi just wondering if you have a pair of lowland blotches in an inside take if the female has babies do you have to take out the male adult cheeres
The new babies are eating very well in their semi enclosed mini greenhouse. The others in the big enclosure are now eating a lot less, their food is removed at the end of the day. They are only fed when there is 3 warm sunny days to follow. at this time of year. Still have several pregnant females which will give birth during April.
Excellent video 👍
So cute and so cool! 👍🙏❤️
They are right!
@WickedWildlife hi. Only just found your great channel.
I have several blue tongue lizards myself but am sadly looking to re home my beautiful Northern bluey 'Pepper'!
She's very pretty, very tame and is 50cm long. She's easy to handle and keep.
Would you be interested in taking her on?
She's worth a bit of money, I paid $800 but I'd be willing to gift her to you as I'd KNOW you'd take wonderful care of her.
Please reply if so and I'll give you my email address to further chat about it. I can send photos too.
Thanks. Cindy 😊 0:02
I usually let all my hatchlings go in the bush in suitable habitat rather see them in the bush
those are cute lizards! im jealous of your daughter getting to grow up around so many animals
Now that she’s started primary school I think it’s started to dawn on her that the other kids don’t have crocodiles and wombats at home 😂
@@WickedWildlife haha I was so happy when I brought my lego pirate ship to school for Show & Tell, your daughter gets to bring a crocodile!!! (or a pudgeybutt wombat!)
Is that girl your daughter?
Congratulations on the new babies. My goodness Isabella is a grown up girl! I bet it’s nice to have a helper!!
Cute lil girl, love that she is having fun and the smile shows 😃🙃
She loves it for sure!
I love blue tongues, unfortunately I see them dead on roads way too often here in Tassie. They love to bask on the warm surface.
Also, I don’t understand why this channel has so few subs… this deserves to be massive!
Thanks mate!
Yeah unfortunately we see lots of blue tongues and shinglebacks hit by cars here too, which is always sad!
