A very pregnant Blue Tongue Lizard

Female on the left, most likely the father on the right.
Blue Tongue Lizards give birth to live young whereas other lizards lays eggs.
They are Ovoviviparous, which means their eggs hatch inside of the mother.
1 to 15 babies will be born between December and April.
I will be out there in December to hopefully photograph a baby or two.

Fanstastic! We were all taught the contrasts and seperations betwen animal classifications, but as it turns out, nature is much too savvy. Attributional overlaps, making so many successful, are everywhre :sunglasses:.

I hope that daddy lizard is regularly giving her a back massage and taking up more of the household responsibilities.
