I would probably lean toward T.g.gigas on this one due to the solid black front legs and the outlined scales on the head. also the speckling between bands on the back is most common in indos.

Looks like Indonesian to me. The type of striping where it's not perfect bands with some tiny spots in between and the black legs. Usually if it's a Merauke it'd have less speckling in between the bands, and spots all over the legs. Very cute! Yours is very nice looking, and great markings.
