The humble blue tongue lizard is a common visitor

The humble blue tongue lizard is a common visitor of the Aussie backyard. They’ve adapted well to humans and suburbs, often living in the same place for many years. You might spot a Bluey in a horizontal pipe, the cavity under your house, or simply sun-baking on a path on a warm day.⁠

Meet Bob, our favourite Shingleback lizard! Shingleback lizards are one of the largest species of skink, growing up to 40cm in length, with large thick scales on the upper side of their body for protection. Bob has has a dark blue tongue for smelling out food, and an enlarged tail that resembles his head for confusing and distracting predators.⁠
⁠
Did you know Shingleback tails also serve as an energy reserve for long periods of time without food? The fat stored in there can help them last for up to 4 months without eating.
