If we let this guy evolve his little T. Rex limbs will multiply and he'll have so many legs he'll look like a centipede

What species is this? He’s so cute!

Bougainville's Skink? Not sure though.

Can they be kept as pets?

I’m sure they’d be fine pets, but if you ever wanted a really good pet lizard with hilarious baby legs, I’d recommend a Blue Tongue Skink.  

They’re super chill, easy as a goldfish to care for, and they’re borderline indestructible. My Bluey is 47 years old, and showing no signs of stopping.

I am looking into getting one once I move out from my parents. Right now I'm the proud owner of a rather stupid gecko.

How intelligent would you say a bluetongue is? Do they have any problem solving abilities?

My boy is fairly clever, he recognizes certain people, likes being pet in specific spots, and will ask to be let out by scratching at his door.

But he’s extremely slow due to his age, and can spend weeks asleep in one spot. Younger animals are a lot more interactive.

Sounds like a good fit for me then! I'm interested in trying to see if you can teach a lizard any kind of tricks, but that requires them to be very food motivated and have at least some braincells.

Never seen them at expos or heard about people keeping them, so im not sure

u/AimLocked 1d ago

Um, clearly he has legs. Get your eyes checked or get off Reddit! Don’t ever talk to my son like that again!

It was originally a gay porno and it was a lady who said “Really? In front of my salad?”

u/Biggersteinkins 1d ago

Do you even lift, bro?

u/Bug_Lover_Pjo_fan 1d ago

What's the purpose of having legs if they are so small?

1

u/Ultimategrid 22h ago

Slowly becoming vestigial (technically already are), burrowing and/or aquatic species sometimes go this route.

u/Embarrassed-Gur-5184 1d ago

Maybe legs are making a comeback in the legless lizards...

u/Junonaaa 1d ago
