@onewing actually that's what I thought too Babs but dont know much about Bluetongues. I havnt seen one that fat before though so Ive just googled them and find that they can give birth to up to 15 live young!! No wonder she's fat.
@sailingmusic thanks for the fav. Myrna. Babs prompted me to check them out on google and sure enough they can produce up to 15 live young so no wonder she's looking very fat.
@cruiser We have one that lives under our log shed and she has been there for a few years. She hibernates each winter and then appears again in Spring. We have seen her give birth too. Blue tongues give birth to live young as opposed to laying eggs.
I see this lady has been in the wars too as she has some of her tail missing. Our blue tongue has a partner that turns up every Spring and he has some of his tail missing too, we call him Stumpy and the lady is called Syd. The reason she is called Syd is because when we first saw her a few years ago she hissed at us and we said she was quite vicious. (Sid Vicious). She mellowed as time went by though and is now quite tame.
I don't do well with reptiles or amphibians so this would have me leaving the porch until she was gone! Especially if there were up to 15 youngsters on the way! Good shot though!
