Although harmless, they can inflict a painful bite if cornered. They grow to about 12-14inches ( 30-40 cms ) long, fairly thick body and COLD. Imagine the wife when she sees her 9 yo son with one sitting on his shoulders !!
Thanks for the shot of the juvenile. I really see what you are saying with the more pronounced head shape. Wonderful captures and an interesting piece of photo journalism!
Yeh, Mike, this boy was sunning himself on the pavers enough for me to grab the trusty for a 'shot'. The baby Blue tongues have a more pronounced head shape with their neck tapers in. Thanks for the feedback, Mike. Cheers JD ps I found a juvenile blue tongue for you...
This fellow lives in my garden as well as FIVE others! They make great pets, aeting snails, dog and cat food, although they are allergic to citrus ... Thanks for your comment, Pranab. JD
