Been lurking on this website for a while now, reading care-sheets and gathering info. Brought home my first bluey yesterday (I'm uncertain of gender but it's not crucial and I think impossible to tell at this age), and already he's seeming to settle in well. He's three and a half weeks old, and I've been told he's a Northern. I'm not super experienced with these guys, so I just wanted to see if that's correct or not. Thank you!
(Sorry about only one photo, I can add more once he's comfortable being held. Don't want to upset him)

Cute little guy! While I'm still learning how to ID - it's looking like an Eastern to me 
as I can't see the typical 'orange' bands on the side of the body of Northerns.. Hopefully another experienced keeper can confirm!

Yeah, definitely eastern.
This is what a northern juvenile looks like.

Awesome, thank you guys. I just wanted to make sure I knew the species to be able to provide proper temps and humidity. Thanks!
