What locale Eastern?

[Dakota]

Thanks!

I'm thinking somewhere in Queensland perhaps?

Someone mentioned "central Qld all along to SE Qld coast".. does that sound correct?

[Ophidiophile]

Maybe I'm wrong but I look at that Eastern and think whatever part of Qld its bloodline is from, it was produced by Ray Gurgui.

If he sent this skinks parents to the UK, it could be plausible.

Go8ng through your Eastern pictures it looks a lot like one of yours, but with less saturation.

I agree that if it is true to a locale, then northern NSW to central QLD is probably about right. Is this skink in the UK?

Anything's possible - Ray's skinks have gone all over the world.

Thought it looked a bit like this guy...

Yup that's the skink I was looking at!

And Mark, yup.. same city I believe as well. The parents got sold off, though.

Looks like it has northerny looking portholes down its flank,i wouldnt rule out a bitza between eastern and northern,but could be wrong to

Base of head looks solid ,easterns usually are quite streamlined there

A few things make me wonder anyhow

[Mark p]

Agreed Richard, does not look pure eastern to me, most likely some northern in there, but could be anything.

Here is a recent picture.

I think we may have tracked down pictures of the parents, waiting for a confirmation.

Look at the white patches around each band

[donkeybuff]

Yeah, I definitely see some northern in it. Still pretty!
