I finally purchased the animal I’ve been dreaming about owning for a year and a half! I just bought a beautiful northern blue tongue skink! She’ll be arriving to me on Wednesday, and I am so excited to receive her. Now, does anyone have any name ideas? I was thinking about going for a plant theme, but I’m not sure which plant.

Maybe a plant from its native range? If going that route, I like the name Wattles. There are over 1000 species of wattles in Australia belonging to the Acacia genus, and then also blue tongues have stubby legs that make them waddle 
Whatever you decide to name her, she looks great!

I absolutely love that idea the name Wattles is an adorable name for a blue tongue.

Congratulations on making your dream come true! Wattles is a fun name idea. Whatever you choose, she’s a lovely girl.

I’m a huge Golden Girls fangirl, so I was thinking maybe Rose. It would go along with the plant theme as well. What do y’all think?

Congrats on your first skink, she’s a beauty!
I like both ‘Rose’ and ‘Wattles,’ that’s a tough choice. 
Maybe wait until she arrives and you get a feeling for her personality? Like, is she more quiet/shy/sensitive or more derpy/goofy/silly?
