Blue Tongue Skinks (Tiliqua spp.) are fascinating reptiles known for their distinct blue tongues, robust bodies, and docile nature. These creatures have become increasingly popular as exotic pets due to their unique appearance and relatively simple care needs compared to other reptiles. As a pet owner, understanding the characteristics, history, and types of Blue Tongue Skinks will help you provide the best care for your new companion. What is a Blue Tongue Skink? Blue Tongue Skinks are a species of large, ground-dwelling lizards native to Australia, New Guinea, and surrounding islands. These lizards are known for their striking blue-colored tongues, which they use as a defense mechanism. When threatened, a Blue Tongue Skink opens its mouth wide and sticks out its tongue, displaying the blue color to ward off predators. This behavior is thought to mimic the appearance of venomous snakes, discouraging potential threats. Blue Tongue Skinks are characterized by their thick, heavy bodies, short legs, and relatively small heads. They have smooth, shiny scales that can vary in color depending on the species, ranging from shades of brown and gray to more vibrant hues like orange and yellow. Adult Blue Tongue Skinks typically measure between 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) in length, with some larger species reaching up to 30 inches (76 cm). These lizards are omnivores, meaning they consume a varied diet of plants, insects, and small animals. They have relatively slow metabolisms and long lifespans, with some individuals living well over 20 years when provided proper care.
