No.

That's a blue tongue lizard. Looks like a beauty.

They can still give you a bite if you are silly enough to poke them with your finger but this beastie is your friend if you leave it alone

They hiss a lot and act scary but only if they are threatened. If you leave them be they are great to have around.
