PLEASE HELP with Species Identification!

Postby CGrowmez » Mon Jan 29, 2018 9:19 pm

Hi everyone! We recently rescued this baby from a bad situation and have been nursing him back to health. As you can see he’s doing great. When we got him he had a bad case of mites, lots of leftover shed, and was extremely malnourished. I would like y’alls opinions on what subspecies he is? I have been almost positive he is a Merauke but today the local reptile shop told me he looks like a Northern. Now I’m feeling confused. Any input would be much appreciated!

Pet shops thing they're all Northerns. Idiots. Merauke is correct.
