He's a big boy alright. Looks like he's on the upper end of the scale judging by the text I've copied. (i'm no bluey expert)

The Eastern Blue-tongue can grow to almost 600 mm in total length, of which about 360 mm is head and body.

Are you going to let him continue living in your yard??

yes , it is good to be able to see them around. there are a few other lizards around the yard as well, so far i have come across , shingleback , jacky , robust ctenotus skink ,cunningham's skink , pale-flecked garden sunskink , bluetongue and two that i havent been able to take pics of. i think one was a eastern bearded dragon.

He's not in my yard... I have wild lizards in my yard but no common blue-tongues. Bit warm for 'em here
