MASSIVE Merauke Blue Tongue Skink!

[@ColeCortner]

That guy seems like a edgelord. Just comes off as really fake. Some people don't look good with long hair. Eat a steak. Stop playing with bugs and get a life. You might actually get a girlfriend if you stop trying to pretend to be Steve Irwin

[@RadiantReptilia]

I don't like steak.

Tiqila evanescence. An alcoholic beverage combined with a rock band. I like it.

[@AlexsAgamids]

BIG O’L SKINK! Great video overall Ethan. Loved seeing him compared to my female Chinese Water Dragon as well 😉

[@eastonbean2923]

Good for you

[@user-lf3re1vw3k]

Keep him!! Hes so cuuuuuute

[@WildLife_Perspective]

Beautiful new skink, you should definitely keep her!

[@HoosierHerpvertebrate]

You almost killed me with that intro, I laughed soo hard!

[@joosy4162]

yo cool! i’m getting a merauke soon that i already have picked out from a non-chain reptile store. she looks wonderfully cared for and she’s a sweetheart.

[@petsforlife6053]

Haha funny and informational video!! ❤️😊👏👌 btw awesome thumbnail

[@mrkrabs5729]

“I am in the wilds of Australia” -shows a skink that’s not from Australia Lol 😂

[@marthakladitis1661]

I am still laughing at the: "pick your eggs," comment. I don't know why, I am crying laughing. Thanks! I needed that. Both of you young men are so cute, I'm praying you don't let this nasty world harden your kindness.

[@AshendrisSilvermist]

Beardies, leopard geckos, etc. Are known to lay multiple clutches a year. Beardies can easily lay 80+ eggs in a season. Blue tongues are live bearers and only have one litter per year, usually 2 to 8 babies but more is possible. So there just aren't as many of them to go around and thus their higher price tag 😊

[@lorenzomaldonado2050]

That blue tongue is a beautiful beast

[@chaloux9419]

Ethan keep it ^_^

[@Alxasaurus]

Absolute unit of skink.

[@AuroraExotics]

He is absolutely gorgeous! You should keep him.

[@RadiantReptilia]

Believe me when I say I am deeply considering it.

[@AuroraExotics]

@@RadiantReptilia If you don't want him I'll take him lol.

[@a13x4869]

Ah! So the beautiful has been named! I was hoping for Ruby but Vera is a very pretty name. Looking forward to a featured video of her!

[@victoriafonova9692]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you for making such great content:)

[@RadiantReptilia]

Yay so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for leaving an encouraging comment!

[@denalidynamic3309]

bless this video

[@Nz-tm3gs]

Are You are Steve Irwin's long lost son? *Edit:* If you end up keeping the Beefy Boi, You should name him "Buddha", since his sub-species is from South-East Asia.

[@officialprozac]

Skinks never fail to baffle me. The fact that these ridiculous sausage lizards exist in the wild are just. They are so fat and slow

[@marthakladitis1661]

Mine is named: "Sausage."

[@jimmyheidt1250]

Such a handsome blue tongue, looking forward to getting my first

[@ZaenalArifin-po3jl]

blue tongue lizard from my country Indonesia, from the island of Merauke..

[@seadragondrawings7843]

Of all the fat healthy wild blue tongues that I have seen in the Aussie bush myself, that bluey is an absolute monster in terms of size. PS no offence, but that Australian accent is absolutely horrible😆😂. Also I have realised that the term blue tongue skink is only used in America , in Australia they are always called blue tongue lizards.

[@Jed199211]

This lizard is so DANK! It could feed an eagle for an entire day!!

Great find lol I just found you channel I subbed I herp in florida

[@rebeccalloyd9938]

Razzberry and I watched this with great interest. He's an adolescent, just 20 inches right now, but otherwise looks almost exactly the same as your beastie there!

[@JurassicReptiles]

Ethan just get it lol

[@RadiantReptilia]

I'm considering it for sure!

[@godslittleartistgrace8660]

Keep him!!!

[@brettroeloffs]

spicy boy!

[@RadiantReptilia]

Indeed.

[@AlexHemingway]

How old was he then

[@teas-party]

omg if you dont keep him i would buy him from you if i had the supplies ready, ive wanted a big bts soooo bad 😱 but id probably have to wait until i get a big paycheck 💸💸💸

[@josepholoughlin5138]

Love this video!!

[@scrunglenut6222]

I have a merauke and he's an absolute gigantic puppy. His name is babylegs! I think you should keep him, if he becomes a little more tame for you. : D

[@paigedavis1307]

Spicy. I love that.

[@brettroeloffs]

his tongue is very blue 11/10

[@RadiantReptilia]

Great observation.

[@gaberamirez5]

Whoa big boyo

[@heathern6147]

Gotta love a beefy blue skink 😎😂

[@RadiantReptilia]

Definitely!

[@sosuccexyceci]

Did they end up keeping it?!

[@maring.6964]

Ethan, just keep him already.

[@missm.a1218]

Please keep the skink Ethan! He’s a zesty little spear lol 😁

[@ashlyntyrie234]

In Australia, one bluey is $30

And AUD is more cheaper than USD lol

[@mylesfiles4475]

I'm luckily Australian so yeah I get the good species

[@randyt.g.6299]

Is that huge Merauke still for sale or did you guys buy it?

[@SephirothWaifu]

Cute video! I looove.my mew Merauke skink! And you guys are abosultely hotties! Keep it up amd become herpotologist^.^

[@jcehlert]

I was able to get mine for 300 or so. Worth the price if you really like the animal. I thought they were nocturnal, but my guy is always up looking at me.

[@MuchDankMeme]

OH FUCK

[@madisynoldham9243]

I hope mine gets this big

[@unroem9912]

How do you tame (calm) the merauki boi down?

[@RadiantReptilia]

While I cannot say for certain because this is my first time working with this species, based on past experience with other species, it will just take a lot of time and effort.

[@unroem9912]

@@RadiantReptilia soooo true. Mine is 4 yo boy, and he is a lot calmer than yours, but still quite hissy. I think that the best way to make him not try to kill you is just leave him alone and let him observe you.

[@denalidynamic3309]

This skink is big, the scary part is mine looks a little bigger. I've measured him ~27" long except mine looks a little plump... fat. Update: just measured mine... 28" dayum.
