Need help identifying this BTS!
Just got this little guy yesterday. They said it was a regular northern bts around 7 months old. I don't think it's a northern but I'd like some other opinions please

Re: Need help identifying this BTS!
It’s a merauke Tiliqua gigas evanescens. High humidity species. Around 60-80%. It’s most likely wild caught and will need a vet visit. A breeder wouldn’t make the mistake of mislabeling it.

Definitely NOT an Australian Northern Blue-tongue (T.s. intermedia)
Definitely a T. gigas -- as Greg has stated.
This seems very dishonest -- whichever store/person sold it to you.
It looks like a very healthy skink but you may not want to depend on this source for accurate info going forward.
