Nice video! Tanimbars are very cool, and yours is a very good looking skink. It looks like he has a bit of a "hump" in his back though. Has he always had that, or has it developed recently?

He's not a rescue, I bought him when he was 1 year old from a breeder. And he has got the hump on his back for whole of his life. Otherwise very healthy, very tame individual :) Thanks!

Halmahera Is.'s are descendents of Blotcheds, Irian Jayas are descendents of Easterns, and Tanimbar Is.'s are descendants of Westerns. :lol:

Here I'll translate:
"Halmahera Indonesians look similar Blotcheds because of the blotches/marks that they both share. Irian Jayas and Easterns look similar because of their overall similarity. Tanimbar Islands and Westerns are similar because of their wide bands".
