[1] The Merauke blue-tongued skink is the longest of all the Tiliqua species; often reaching nearly 26-30 inches (66–76 cm) in total length.

The species is often exported for the exotic pet trade,[2] and is steadily growing in popularity within both herpetoculture and zoological exhibits globally.

The Merauke blue-tongued skink hails from the tropical environment of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.

Captive breeding efforts have risen with the growing interest of blue tongue skinks within herpetoculture; however, the species still remains widely imported.
