Living In the Wild

The blue tongues are able to inhabit a large amount of environments, ranging from deserts, semi-arid savannahs, woodlands, and even suburban areas. They are omnivores and usually feed on berries, flowers, fungi, insects, spiders, small animals, and carrion in the wild. The skinks have also been known to be very fond of snails. When living in the wild the blue-tongue may be prey for kookaburras, raptors, and certain snakes. If a skink lives in a suburban area it may be attacked by a cat or dog.
