What species?

Postby Tortoise1 » Sat Aug 05, 2017 8:02 pm

Hello again! I recently added another blue tongue skink to my reptile collection. He was labeled as irian jaya, but I'm not so sure that's what he is. I have another blue tongue that is an irian jaya, and they look nothing alike. Any ideas? Thanks! :)

That's an Irian jaya (tiliqua sp.). They are a highly variable blue tongue. Which explains why they haven't scientifically described yet lol.
