Green phase southern eastern bluey,tiliqua scincoides scincoides,but who knows its history,rays easterns look like south eastqld types,pretty much no sign of eye banding

This one lacks traces of eye banding to,which some southern forms lack as well

There is every chance it isnt pure,but it does look like an eastern to me

15 inches ?

Still got a bit of growing to do i imagine

What? I'm so confused. Pretty sure a leatherback is a beardie without the pokey parts. Pretty easy to ID. Touch it. Does it stab you? Yes? Not a leatherback.

Is there a different kind of leatherback?
