Blue tongue skink

Blue-tongued skinks are large lizards with short legs, a short tail, a bright blue tongue and a pink mouth. Their very noticeable tongue is how they got their name.

​

In the wild, blue-tongued lizards are found in Australia and New Guinea. They live in places like grassy areas, deserts, or in the woods where there are a lot of dead leaves on the ground. This helps them blend in with their environment. They snooze under rocks, leaves, or in logs.
