Most blue tongued lizards are not dangerous or poisonous-

The bright blue tongue is meant to scare or frighten away predators- in Biology this is known as aposemitism (warning colors).

Most animals have pink tongues, so When the lizard is threatened, it sticks out a bright blue tongue which is shocking to the predator-

while the predator decides whether the lizard is scary or poisonous, this buys the lizard time to escape!
