Really nice Merauke

Postby Ophidiophile » Thu Jan 30, 2014 6:04 pm

This guy is on Ben Siegel's auction FB page right now (ends in ~2 hrs). I'm committed to CB so I'm not gonna go for this one but I do think it's really nice. BTW, yet another shipment of WC Indonesian animals came in yesterday and it included not only this guy but some "Patternless Indonesians". I did not see them though so not 100% sure what exactly they were. They were pricey and sold instantly.

Anyway on this Merauke I'm saying male - what do you think?

His comment "The BTS Revolution has started!" made me uncomfortable. May we pray BTS aren't the next Ball Python??

Anyways, I know someone buying this.. he is going to snipe it! :lol: And yes, definitely male.. his female comment made me giggle..

Those bulges are clear as day! I would be very surprised if this was a female.

So now Siegel has 2 BTS for sale, both of which he is advertising as Meraukes (the one yesterday with the photo above was originally advertised as an "Indonesian" not a Merauke). One is clearly a Merauke but the other is this:

Looks to me like some sort of intergrade?

Yep with another look, I agree with you guys - Irian Jaya. Someone should probably tell the guy who bought it off of Siegel's FB page that it's not a Merauke!

They're both pretty good looking. His FB page said that he had recently got a shipment from indonesia, so maybe more will be for sale soon.
