A proud looking tiliqua scincoides (eastern blue tongue skink) sitting on the decking looking into the lens
The eastern blue tongue lizard is one of the most familiar reptiles in Australia. Large specimens may reach 60cm in total length. The legs are small and can often be overlooked, a situation which sometimes means the harmless bluetongue, with its large triangular head, is mistaken for a dangerous snake and inadvertently killed. The body is primarily grey or pale brown with around a dozen darker bands around the body and tail. The belly is cream or yellowish-white

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Nina Pearman, we are introduced to a proud and majestic Eastern Blue Tongue Skink. Sitting on the decking, its piercing gaze meets the lens with confidence and curiosity. The Eastern Blue Tongue Lizard is undoubtedly one of Australia's most recognizable reptiles, known for its distinctive appearance and docile nature. With an impressive length that can reach up to 60cm, it commands attention wherever it goes. However, despite its harmless demeanor, these skinks often fall victim to mistaken identity. With small legs that can easily be overlooked and a large triangular head reminiscent of dangerous snakes, these gentle creatures are sometimes misjudged as threats and inadvertently killed. It serves as a reminder of the importance of understanding our wildlife before making hasty judgments. The skink's body showcases shades of grey or pale brown adorned with darker bands along its body and tail. Its cream or yellowish-white belly adds contrast to its overall coloration. Against the backdrop of a hardwood floor deck in Victoria, Australia, this blue-tongued beauty stands out effortlessly. Nina Pearman's skillful photography captures not only the intricate details but also the essence of this remarkable reptile amidst nature's embrace. This image invites us into their world - a world where resilience meets vulnerability; where beauty lies in coexistence with all creatures great and small.
