A little blue goes a long way 💙
Here is our Indonesian Blue Tongue Skink (Tiliqua) called Nessie, yes after the Loch Ness monster 🤫.
Blue tongued skinks have blue tongues as a way of communicating and deterring predators. The bright blue colour is thought to be an aposematic (warning) signal, similar to the bright colours found in many venomous animals. When threatened, a blue-tongued skink will puff up its body, hiss, and stick out its bright blue tongue in an attempt to scare off the attacker. They are truely one of my favourites🦎🟦.
