I am an Australian native who lives in many parts of Australia. I can be found in coastal heaths, forests, woodlands, and grasslands. I am also very happy to live around people in their backyards, in places like rockeries, pipes and under houses.

My body is pale silvery-grey to brown in colour. I have broad dark brown or blackish bands across my back and tail. I can grow to nearly 60cm long. My legs are quite short and I move with a bit of a waddle.

A big hint for you is that I have a blue tongue that I will stick out at you if you frighten me!

Can you guess who I am?”
