Northern Bluetongue Lizards
The Northern Blue-tongued Lizard (Tiliqua scincoides intermedia) They feed on slow-moving invertebrates and plant material. Some people are lucky enough to have these lizards in their gardens in the northern states.

Description: Unlikely to be mistaken for any other species (except other Bluetongue sub species). A heavy-bodied, short-limbed species with a short, tapering tail. The Northern Bluetongue skink has distinctive patterns and a range of orange colorations from soft to bright orange and in some cases, they are more yellow with dark stripes, which can be found on their back and sides. Males usually have a relatively shorter body and broader head than females. These lizards get their name from the broad, blue tongue which is extended during the threat display, and constantly flicked out while the lizard is hunting.

Ecology: Omnivorous, fond of flowers, fungi, strawberries and snails. Blue-tongues are also partial to tinned dog and cat food and are sometimes found helping themselves to the breakfast of more domestic animals. Shelters under dense vegetation, leaf litter, in hollow logs or under piles of debris. Drain pipes are used by Blue-tongues for shelter in many suburban backyards.

This species overwinters in deep litter, crevices or hollow logs. This species has been recorded living for twenty years in captivity. Blue-tongue Lizards do not have a venomous bite, but they are capable of biting very hard.
