Housing Requirements for Blue Tongue Lizards
Adult Blue Tongue Lizards need a spacious, well-ventilated enclosure of at least 150 to 190 litres. Include multiple hiding spots, a basking area with a temperature of 35–38°C, and cooler zones around 24°C. UVB lighting is essential to support bone health and maintain a natural day-night cycle.
Blue Tongue Lizard Diet
Blue Tongue Lizards are omnivores. Offer a varied diet of leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, insects such as crickets and mealworms, and occasional cooked lean meats. High-quality canned dog or cat food can also be included. Avoid citrus fruits and any toxic plants.
Care and Handling Tips
These lizards are generally calm and tolerate gentle handling well. Regular interaction helps keep them social and stress-free. Clean the enclosure regularly, provide fresh water daily, and monitor for signs of illness to keep your lizard healthy and active.
