The Western Blue-tongued Lizard, Tiliqua occipitalis, (also known as the Western Blue-tongued Skink) is a variety of large skink native to Australia. The Western Blue-tongued Lizard is one of six species of blue-tongued lizard found in Australia, though further species are found in New Guinea and Indonesia. They give birth to approximately five live young. The young consume the placental membrane immediately after birth, and are precocious and disperse after a few days. The young have bands of yellow and brown on the body and tail.
