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.
@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.
Super capture -- but that blue tongue !! She seems to be thriving and I am sure appreciative of the selective diet that David provides her -- It is good to look after our garden creatures ! fav
Wow you have some amazing wild life…..I have never seen or heard of a blue tongued lizard….he really has a proper blue tongue & likes to show it off too.
@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.
