Is my skink northern or Indonesian?
Hi! I got my BTS from a breeder online and was told it was a Northern, but in a recent picture I posted someone informed me that it looks like he is an Indonesian! I'm trying to make sure I have the correct information so I can build his enclosure and feed him appropriately! He is definitely getting lighter and more red with every shed. Thanks for any help!

Re: Is my skink northern or Indonesian?
Hello, looks like you've got an Indonesian for sure! It's looking like an Irian Jaya to me (so try to maintain humidity between 60-80% where possible). Generally swapping out the aspen for a mix of sphagnum moss and coco-coir is a good way to up humidity (alternatively to coco-coir, you can also use in addition; or in replacement: cypress mulch or repti-bark products). Goodluck!
