Various Merauke BTS (Tiliqua gigas evanescens) Photos

Postby James Wilson » Sun Mar 11, 2012 7:37 pm

Here are a few old photos of some Merauke Faded BTS (Tiliiqua gigas evanescens). I know I have posted photos of mine already, so I will post these. These are old photo submissions or just photos I saved for reasons I have long since forgoten. If you want to see mine again, I can post them. If anyone has any other species or subspecies photo requests, just let me know and I will see what I can dig up form the old days.

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. I love seeing any and all old photos of BTS, so I'd love seeing any that you can dig up. These picture threads are great!

I'd love to see pics of yours as well. How many do you have now?

No Problem Katrina. Anything for you. This is of my big female. I just had the one as Merauke BTS were very very rare in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She was the the covergirl featured on the cover of the Nuvember 2001 issue of reptiles magazine. She was also pictured on page 57.

I am so incredibly jealous! That is easily the nicest looking female Merauke I've ever seen. I keep finding good looking male Meraukes but I can't find really nice females. That girl would be so perfect, I have a couple males that I'd LOVE to pair with her. Thanks for the pictures, she is unbelievable.
