The tail leads me to believe Merauke. Maybe a Merauke mix?

Looks like a merauke. 8)

I changed my vote to IJ after seeing more pics. The tail in the 2nd pic in this thread looked like the tail is longer than the skinks body and it isn't even showing the full tail. This picture makes it look like a normal IJ Image
