Looking at the other photos, it doesn't seem very likely to be a Blue-tonged Skink. Posted 11 years ago

  I'm wanting to return to this reptile zoo anyway, so hopefully on the 2nd try I will be more sure. Posted 11 years ago

This looks like a monitor to me, blue tongues do not have loose hanging skin and their digits are quite different, small and somewhat puny looking. Posted 8 years ago

  Thanks for the feedback. It's been taken five years ago in a reptile zoo, so memory does not serve me well enough to know what it is. I'd normally use the signs in such facilities to be sure, but I think this one slipped through. So you're probably right.
  Any idea which type of monitor it could be? Posted 8 years ago
