This is Medusa, she is our rescue she is about 1.5 years.
She was surrendered to a "rescue" due to the person couldnt take care of her some time ago, and later was taken from that "rescue" due to her being crazy overweight. the new owner helped her back down to a healthy weight. we picked her up today and it was love at first sight, she is so loving!

Congratulations! Cool looking skink. It appears to be a hybrid, but it would help to see some pictures straight down from above, and some of the sides.

Congratulations, she is gorgeous!!
Like Jeff said, top down pictures would help figure out what she might be. There aren't really BTS 'morphs' (not readily available, a few people are working on some very interesting projects but they aren't common), it is most likely a hybrid like Jeff mentioned.

Definitely not a morph, just a nice Common Blue-tongue Tiliqua scincoides. If I had to call the subspecies, I would go with Northern, but it looks like it has some Eastern influence in there as well, which is not that unusual. A fair amount of the northerns we have here in the us have some eastern influence in them as well (some more than others of course).

I was just thinking there might be a little more than just scincoides in there. James knows a LOT more than I do though, so I would go with his assessment.
