[@andrewbraid4265]

I do gardening and lawmowing for a job. At one of the strata titles we maintain in the Sutherland shire in Sydney I came across a massive one. I was wipper snipping the grass near a hedge and it stuck his head out as I agitated it and put up the defensive move. I stopped the brush cutter and let it grab the chord to move it so I wouldn't hurt it at all. The jaw pressure is like a vice on them. It had magnificent colours on him. It wouldn't let go for like 15 mins. I tried shaking it but he wouldn't let go. It did eventually when we tried to cut the chord, and went off in the hedge we use 3 millimetre thick chord, heavy duty. He wanted to kill it, I didn't want to hurt him. So glad I didn't. Beautiful lizard. He would have been close to 1/2 a metre.

[@thals86]

We too are blessed to have resident Eastern Blueys in our yard down in Melbourne. They really enjoy devouring the snails in our garden beds, their treat of choice! And if there's any leftover dog food in the dog bowls, they'll go that too haha :) Many mistake them for tiger snakes at first glance due to the striping on their backs and the way they scurry about with their long bodies and small legs. Many times you'll find they inhabit the same areas too so it always pays to be extra cautious. As common as they are, they're one of my favourite reptiles and are always a joy to observe. Glad you had some fun spotting them Dav, they are indeed an awesome, yet underrated animal.

[@davkaufmansreptileadventures]

I agree, they are very underrated! You're lucky to have them in your yard!

Where I live in Australia we are really limited in what we can buy, so I am looking at an eastern or blotched blue tongue as a first lizard, or an Eastern Bearded Dragon. It's really nice to see some of these lizards that I don't see as much on them on websites and channels from other countries. I recently had a blue tongue in my yard, he was really chunky and so calm as I looked at him and my dog barked at him (from behind a fence). I love the Grey Eastern.

[@raelonewolf]

Awesome video! I love seeing how blue-tongue skinks live in the wild. Very cool to see what kind of substrates/temperatures they have there. I am going to make one teensy correction though (yes, I am that person) -- the blackberries you showed are actually not native to North America, because those are the Himalayan blackberries. The blackberries native to North America have leaves that grow in groups of three, whereas you can see the Himalayan blackberries have leaves that grow in groups of five. The Himalayan also tend to grow more vertically, while the native species stays closer to the ground. The Himalayan blackberries are also invasive in North America, out-competing many native plants that typically live close to the ground in sunny areas; but of course, just like in Australia, some of our native animals will capitalize on it as well.

[@grandadoboman1995]

Oh look, the substrate is dirt, not paper towel, newspaper, or carpet...

[@zuestoots5176]

Right, FaceBook warriors are the worst.. "Oh no you cant anything loose" Every single fucking thing they say is ass backwards.

[@westonbrecosky587]

I mean... I keep my smaller animals on paper towels it's easier when you have a bunch of animals and you want to keep the enclosures sanitary. I dont wanna take them out to feed them in a second enclosure everyday while they eat. the premade diets I feed them seem to be fine in there enclosures (even with substrate) but I've seen skinks grab entire mouths full of substrate when feeding on live insects so I've started using paper towels in my smaller animals setups. I couldnt give a care in the world less what is said on FB, I do what I personally feel is best for the well being of my animals and what I find is the easiest and most inexpensive way to do so. My adults are kept on substrate but they can pass the small amounts of substrate they consume alot easier then hatchlings and i still use a feeding tub when they get insects (I feed my adults live insects alot less then I feed the juveniles.) That said you've also gotta realize when keeping your animals as natural as possible that most wild animals don't live very long in the wild with only a small fraction meeting there life expectancy in captivity. Not only due to predators getting ahold of them but also due to the fact that they are animals and don't know what's best for them I'm 100% positive some skinks along with bearded dragons have died from impaction in the wild. I feel that when we keep an animal in captivity it's more important that we as keepers provide them with what's best for there well being over what's the most natural option. This is just my opinion, I will always be a fan of naturalistic setups I just feel there is a happy medium. Do what's best for your animals while providing an enclosure that's as natural as possible.👍 meet in the middle, you'll never find me keeping anything in a Barbie fun house.😂

[@imaniwilliams816]

There aren't any terrariums, thermometers, water dishes, or heat bulbs out there either so I guess we should just let our blue tongues free roam and let nature take its course, I guess. Based on what you've said, that would obviously be the best course of action because it's natural. As long as a keeper is feeding their pet a proper diet, cleaning up after them, and keeping them at appropriate temperatures all in a way that does not risk the well-being of the animal, I fail to see why the method of their doing so is relevant.

[@imaniwilliams816]

Zues Toots I don't see how that's backwards. Dirt is a loose substrate, but there's plenty of rocks and sticks to minimize the risk of impaction in the example showed in the video. Someone who's using purely a loose substrate could potentially endanger or even kill their reptile due to a lack of these obstacles and it's not like these people are pulling this information out of their butt. There are hundreds maybe even thousands of documented cases of these tragic incidents happening, and it may not have happened to you, but it doesn't mean that it won't. I'll take safe over sorry any day of the year and if that means I have to bury some rocks in my enclosure or not use loose substrate at all because it might help my pet in the long run, then that's something I'm willing to do for the longevity of my pet.

[@katieanthony9928]

Imani Williams So your saying we should take the easy way out and just use paper towel/newspaper instead of investing and buying plenty of rocks and soil to accurately replicate the natural environment? People should NEVER get an animal unless they can provide it the most natural enclosure possible even if they means spending hundreds of dollars on substrate.

i'd like to make the point that centrallian blueies (and other blueies occasionally) are basically always on red sand in the wild, and some other species do find themselves in sandy environments and live through it just fine. (though it depends on whether or not the previous generations where used to sand aswell, and you shouldn't give northerns etc sandy enclosures.

Good point, you are correct, but in domestic enclosures, they cant always find refuge from the sand if that's all they have as a substrate.

Less than two years later it’s malfunctioning out of the blue so currently it’s only connected to one rack and the other rack has no heat. I contacted the manufacturer and followed his troubleshooting steps to the letter but to no avail. He wants me to ship the unit to him so they can diagnose/repair it which is all well and good but how do I heat my two racks in the meantime? Seems I need to purchase another dual thermostat or two individual units which kind of defeats the purpose of having the faulty unit repaired for free under the warranty.
