~BREEDING BEHAVIOR~ Blue Tongued skink - Female Tail Wiggle
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 17 Feb 2013
This behavior can be used for "behavior sexing" and is female breeding behavior. Its just like the title says, the female will wiggle her tail in a very unusual way, very serpentine in nature. It is very different than the way you will normally see them move their tails, and it might be surprising when you see it. This is a very short example of this behavior.

(Sorry for the bad video quality, I took this on my phone. This is a temporary breeding setup, because it can be dangerous to have substrate down while the skinks are copulating due to the risk of debris sticking to the males hemipenes...and of course he messed it up LOL)
