Do you know these facts about Blue Tongue Lizards?
🦎There are 6 subspecies of Blue Tongue Lizards in Australia! Plus another 6 that are found in Indonesia. The Australian subspecies include Blotched, Centralian, Eastern, Northern, Pygmy & Western.
🦎 When a Blue Tongue feels extremely threatened (and their tongue hasn't scared away potential predators) they will drop their tails as a means to escape. Don't worry though, they will slowly grow it back.
🦎Blue Tongues will commonly eat snails and slugs. This means they are at risk in our gardens if you use pesticide. Certain companies use ingredients that are deemed "safe" in case a lizard eats the bait or the snails.
While our Lizard pit is currently under maintenance to prepare for summer, we have a range of other reptiles on display to say hello to!!
