A friend of mine in AZ owned this imported hypo Indonesian BTS (Tiliqua gigas gigas), and she ended up selling it to Andrew, with me acting as a go between (she was and still is a bit of a hermit with a large shingleback colection). Unfortunately, the animal died some time after Andrew got it. It was a cool skink, But I am guessing pretty old as in had been in captivity for at least a few years by the time Andrew ended up with it. I still feel really bad about it dieing.

It wasn't a hybrid. It was an wildcollected imported hypomelanistic Indonesian BTS (Tiliqua gigas gigas).
