Blue Tongue Lizard by onewing

Blue Tongue Lizard

Another photo from our garden creatures. This time, our resident blue tongue lizard. She will be hibernating soon so David is fattening her up for the winter ahead by feeding her with raw mince, strawberries and mushrooms. She has a good diet.

Never seen this before!

Did you show yours to get her to show hers hahahaha great shot!

@annied Ha ha I managed not to dribble though. She had just swallowed some mushroom and I guess it must have been tasty considering the saliva on her tongue.

Doesn't look like she is appreciating the extra care from David.. cheeky miss..

Interesting the way it keeps its tongue out. So is this a pet then?
March 22nd, 2022  
Ah, I didn't know they hibernated. She lucky to have a waiter on hand :)

David fed the blue tongue lizard with some banana today and she loved it. We have had blue tongues in our garden for years and they are always well fed.

@terryliv We have had blue tongues in our garden for years and they finished off the snails a long time ago, between them and the kookaburras we don't have any snails left now.

@shutterbug49 It had just eaten some mushroom and was licking its lips I think, ha ha. No it isn't a pet, just one of the many wild creatures we have in the garden. Blue tongue lizards are skinks and give birth live young. They usually have between one and fifteen babies and as soon as they are born they fend for themselves. Not all survive obviously because predators eat them, but we have had a regular stream of blue tongues over the years. At present we only have one left now because our other resident one lived under our log shed but sadly got run over when crossing the road a few months ago.

What a beauty! And a great catch with the tongue out!
