What species is this Skink

Postby Oblea123 » Wed Jul 18, 2018 8:42 am

Hello, I’m currently looking at getting my first blue tongue. I have found a young one for sale. They say there northern but I just want a second opinion to make sure. Thank you in advance for the helpful information.

Looks like a possible northern hybrid. Better pics would help with identification.

I think she's a JUVENILE Eastern BTS.

Send more pictures, you'd never find an Eastern in a pet shop. I'm thinking along with Starscream. Possibly hybrid or IJ, or a very bad picture of a Northern in shed. Northerns are quite rare in pet shops also, although it is baby season and some breeders sell to pet shops. Definitely need more and better pictures of the entire animal.
