Blue tongue lizards, or blue tongue skinks, are not good for beginers. They require a lot of space, exercise out of their tank, and need a lot of tank maintenence. You would have to feed them vegetables and crickets. The crickets need their own food. You may need to remove the hind legs of medium or large crickets so that your lizard can catch them. The water would have to be changed 1-3 times a day. An easier pet would be a tree frog or a leopard gecko. Remember, do not house different species of reptiles or amphibians together. erin_animal_lover_ i have to disagree, i think that blue tongue skinks make good first time pets. if the person that is willing to spend time to clean, feed and care correctly for the lizard on a daily basis, as you would do with a dog or a cat. Then i think this is a animal for you if its what you want. the only problem i have had with blue tongues is that they can be a bit huffy and puffy at times but you just have to ignore it. they eat a varies of different types of food it is like something like 35% meat and 65% veg diet. you can feed them low fat dog food as meat, you would still need to add vitamin supplements to their food, you will still have to give them a mouse once and a while, you can still feed them crickets and other insects but not as a main meal just when they look like they are searching for food.

Yes! All reptiles are cold-blooded, which means that they can't regulate their body temperature like we can. Making sure that your lizards don't get too cold is extremely important. One end of the enclosure should be from about 75 to 82 degrees (fahrenheit), and the other should be from 90 to 100 degrees.
If you have a captive lizard or reptile they do need heat within the environment you have created for them. The inside temperature for an aquarium is colder than the outside air. Plus, they are not able to move to another area to find a heat source as they would in the natural world. A hot rock or lamp will do the trick.
You need a license to keep reptiles. Once you've done that you can go to web sites such as: www.herpshop.com.au Once you do that you click on herp trade and surch for lizards. (blue tongues are good pets)

it is illegal to keep a ble tonge lizard in qeensland and the fine can some times extend over $1000 but if you get a reptile license you are legal just make sure you buy the lizard at a store and not the bush because you need evidence that you have bought the reptile

In Australia, you generally do not need a license to keep a blue tongue lizard as a pet, as they are native to the country. However, you may need a license if you plan to breed them or keep a large number of individuals. It is always best to check with your local wildlife authorities to ensure you are complying with regulations.
