Centralians can be as short as 13-14 inches, and a very long Merauke can be around 26 or 27.

pygmy bluetongues are are tiny compared to other species

some of the larger forms sizes can vary as to locality,eg rugosa asperas,theres qiite small types and quite large types from certain areas

northerns and meraukes both have capabilities of getting way bigger than average,26 inches or more

alot of species seem to have a small average size but they are all capable of reaching quite large lengths,ive personaly measured a wild mornington peninsula eastern at 62 cm and a same area lowlands blotch,also wild at 61 cm,both well above the average size reported for them

averages are generally quoted from museum collected animals ,and just that,the average size of specimens examined
