The Eastern Blue-tongued lizard (Tiliqua scincoides scincoides) is a variety of large skink which is common throughout Australia, often found in bushland and suburban areas where conditions are suitable. They are known as blue-tongues because their tongue ranges from bright to dark blue, and they have a habit of displaying it prominently and hissing loudly when disturbed.

The Blue-Tongued is a stout and slow lizard that grows up to 300-600mm in length, with brown to grey scales and a barred pattern across the body and tail. The underside is usually pale. Blue-Tongued lizards are popular pet lizard and can live for up to 30 years in captivity. They give birth to live young, between six and twenty per litter. The young consume the egg sac immediately after birth. They resemble the adult form closely.
