Über uns
Blue-tongued skinks are a group of large lizards in the genus Tiliqua, native to Australia and parts of Indonesia. They are named for their distinctive blue tongue, which is displayed as a warning signal to potential predators. Adults commonly reach 45–60 cm in total length and have a robust, elongated body with short, stubby limbs. Coloration varies considerably among species and subspecies but typically involves shades of brown, black, and orange in banded or blotched patterns. Blue-tongued skinks are omnivorous, consuming a varied diet of vegetables, fruits, insects, and small vertebrates. They are widely regarded as docile and easy to handle, making them popular pets for both beginners and experienced keepers. Captive individuals can live 15–20 years or longer.
