What he said. Did you know in fact most skinks have Blue-tongues even on the rare occasion Pink-tongued Skinks will have blue tongues. It is by far the irregular rather than the norm for a skink to have pink tongue. Interesting I think then that the Blue Tongue is really so famous for having a blue tongue...
To scare predators I believe...as they flare it at you when scared
I didn't know that most skinks have blue tongues, I had noticed that Lizzy has a nice blue tongue when I was examining some of my happy snaps of her (sometimes fluked a yawn or a tongue flick).
Here's an question for anyone who wants to offer a reasonable scientific answer - why are skinks' tongues blue/blueish in colour ? (I'd call LIzzy's tongue colour more gray-blue.)
That's actually start or end of a big yawn while in floppy lizard mode and basking on the modem's transformer .... but I tell everyone it's Lizzy smiling or laughing at something her trained ape said.
