Oola the Blue Tongue
- Thread starter Lobo
- Start date
Wow I haven't seen a blue tongue lizard in years. 
Karen if I remember rightly they are huge, well compared to the little ones that scurry around many gardens. About a foot long ?

That's the sort of size I'd imagined from the photo, that's pretty big! :shock:
That looks about life size, unless I am confused with goannas, which are bigger.
She's 4 years old now. Weighs around 750gms and is 48cms long, nose to tail.
She has the gentlest nature.
Wow she is big. About the size of the second photo
My aunt used to get a lizard on the side of her pool most days, when I was there last year. Same colouring but a lot lot smaller and very shy.

Oh wow.
Kept as pets they can live for 20 years plus. In the wild only about 15% make it to adults. They are Highland Blotched and are cold weather specialists not found below 700 meters above sea level. Being predominantly black they warm up with less exposure to sun.
Beautiful
We have three.
The last one I built before installing the glass and electrics.
Showing off her blue tongue.
Returned to her viv after it was fully cleaned. She couldn't smell her own scent so had to check everything to make sure it was her home.

Poor lass in the video, she doesn't look very sure! :lol: Love her getting on top of the house though. Your vivs are great, how fab that you made them yourself! Means that you can have them exactly the way you want
What are your other two guys called?

That's not a great survival rate in the wild is it
but hopefully Oola has very very many happy years ahead of her. They're fascinating creatures and I love the set ups.
