Blue Tongue Skinks Do Not Bite Often. Blue Tongue Skinks have mouths, and therefore it is absolutely possible that they could bite. Luckily, however, Blue Tongue Skink pets tend to be pretty relaxed and placid. Blue Tongue Skinks are not "bitey" reptiles that are always snapping suddenly at their owners.. Answer: Blue tongues naturally eat snails and vegetation, carrion, berries, but occasionally people can offer wet dog food like Pedigree Pal. Some chopped vegetables with small amounts of cooked meat or even a boiled egg is great. The team at Reptiles Victoria Inc hope this provides you some information and some reassurance.
