Pink-tongued Skink

Pink-tongued Skink – Cyclodomorphus gerrardii, The Wild Garden, North Tamborine. 

The pink-tongued skink occurs in coastal eastern Australia, ranging from Springwood in New South Wales to the Cairns region in Queensland. 

Its colour and pattern resemble the closely related blue-tongued skink.

I filmed a specimen which was brown, a rarity, in the same location within a few days. 

All but two of my sightings of a pink-tongued, including in the rainforest at night, have been the mottled colour of the one in the video frame. 

The skink can attain a length of 45 cm.
