About

The pink-tongued skink (Cyclodomorphus gerrardii) is a genus of lizard in the family Scincidae. It is endemic to Australia. In Australia C. gerrardii is called commonly the pink-tongued lizard. As suggested by these common names, its distinguishing characteristic is a pink tongue as opposed to the blue tongue of the closely related genus Tiliqua.
