The blue-tongued skink is a fascinating reptile known for its distinctive blue tongue and docile nature. These lizards belong to the family Scincidae, and their scientific name is Tiliqua.
Plestiodon elegans, the technical name for blue-tailed skinks, is a fascinating animal with a wide variety of behaviours that help define them and make them adaptable to their environments. To understand their function in the environment and provide them with the best care possible while in captivity, it is essential to comprehend their behaviours.
The unique blue-tongued skink, or Tiliqua as it is officially named, is a native Australian reptile. These reptiles, which are members of the Scincidae family, may trace their evolutionary lineage back millions of years.
Their fossil record shows they were there for a long time in Australia, and their capacity to adapt to many habitats—such as heathlands, grasslands, and woodlands—is evident. Also, certain regions of Indonesia now have blue-tongued skinks.
