Blue-tongue lizard

This is an Eastern Blue-tongue lizard. These are the largest members of the skink family and are found across eastern and northern Australia. This one was near my house. They can grow to about 600mm and are harmless, though capable of giving a substantial bite. Most usefully, they eat slugs and snails.
