Here are some photos of an unusually dark Indonesian BTS (
Tiliqua gigas gigas). Again, neither the photos or the actual animals are mine.

No. It has been so long that I have no idea who took the photos or who owned it. Sorry.

That would've been a good one to combine with the snow and amelanistic gigas!

Agreed, I can only imagine the bright orange you would get when tied into the amels, and it could sure make some nice clean patternless looking snows. I wish you still had those skinks!

Wow, the skink in the second pic is in dire need of a nail trim.

Based on the photos it could have used a major trim. Since the photos are over 10 years old, lets hope it has been given one since then. These photos were most likely of some importers animal that he was trying to sell, but I do not remember who.
