Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has experience in wild northern blue tongues as well as captive northern blue tongues. I have one on my nt wildlife carers permit after being hit by a car and sustaining a broken jaw. Now happy and healthy it's time he goes back to a safe wild habitat however ever since the day he came in he was rediculously friendly and I was always suspicious that he was an escapee captive owned blue from here in Darwin.
My question is, would a wild blue tongue be extremely comfortable with being handelled or would all wild bluesy show defensive signs or signs of stress. And if he were captive and I released him would he survive in the wild? I want him to be released safely if that is where he belongs, but I worry that it he was captive like he seems, he may die quickly in the wild.
Any ideas?
