Hi, and welcome to the forum! for the best identification, a picture looking straight down from above would be best. From the pictures you posted, you have a Tiliqua gigas. They are from Indonesia. As far as the sub-species it would take that top down picture including the entire body and tail. It looks like your skink has some merauke traits, but it also has some indo indicators.

I really like the look of her which ever she is though!
