~BREEDING BEHAVIOR~ Blue Tongued Skink Copulation (GRAPHIC)
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 15 Feb 2013
This is a video of my two Northern Blue Tongued skinks mating. This video is to show what actual copulation/mating behavior looks like, as it is pretty vicious. This also shows about how fast this mating was, as it less than a minute before we took the video he finally tucked his tail under hers.
This ended up being more graphic than I planned to get on video as this was my first observation in person of mating behavior. (Dont worry, it was planned on :D)
There is a short bit at the end that shows his penis...I kept it because if I was startled by it (and concerned because I thought he was hurt somehow) I'm sure others who witness something similar would be concerned too. (If your lizard is able to retract his hemipenes in a timely fashion there is nothing to be concerned about...if he is unable to, that is an EMERGENCY vet trip)
