This skink is in the same genus as the blue-tongued skink, and the two look very similar. Its tail looks much like its head. This adaptation is used to fool predators. As with all skinks in the genus Tiquila, it has a blue tongue. Unique in the family, the shingleback skink usually mates for life, coming back together almost every year of their 30-year lifespan.
