Blue Tongued Out

The blue-tongue lizard is the largest members of the skink family and has a long body, large head and short legs and toes.

Blue tongue lizards get obvious name from the blue tongues, when threatened, blue-tongues turn towards the threat, open their mouth wide and stick out their broad blue tongue that contrasts vividly with the pink mouth.

Today this little Blue Tongue came out to play today and I took the opportunity to take a few quick pictures before putting him back to continue on his way!
