Tiliqua rugosa is a short-tailed, slow moving species of blue-tongued skink found in Australia. Three of the four recognized subspecies are found only in Western Australia, where they are known collectively by the common name bobtail. The name shingleback is also used, especially for T. rugosa asper, the only subspecies native to eastern Australia. Apart from bobtail and shingleback a variety of other common names are used, including stump-tailed skink, bogeye, pinecone lizard and sleepy lizard.
