The Australian blue tongue lizard is one of the first lizards I came to know when I arrived in Australia. The reason is that these big friendly skinks are very slow moving. They are easy to observe and easy to catch. Something that can't be said for many other lizards. lucky blue-tongued lizard can live for many years.
