Halmahera Blue Tongue Skink (Tiliqua gigas gigas)
Difficulty: Intermediate
Halmahera blue tongue skinks are diurnal, terrestrial lizards found in the tropical forests of Halmahera island, Indonesia. They can measure between 18-24” long in adulthood, although this locality tends to be smaller than others. They have an average lifespan of 15-20 years, although, with good care, they can live past the age of 30.
Blue tongue skinks have thick, sausage-like bodies, short but strong limbs, and triangular heads. But their most distinctive feature is their namesake — a blue tongue! Halmahera blue tongue skinks can generally be distinguished by their orange to reddish base color with dark banding along the length of the body, dark speckles in-between, solid black arms, and thin dark lines on the head. The belly is salmon orange or white with plentiful black markings.
Halmahera blue tongue skinks are one of the most common types of Indonesian blue tongue skinks in the US and are typically wild-caught rather than captive-bred.
