Can you help me to know if this Tiliqua is hybrid ?

[FrenchBlueTongue]

Hello,

I'm French passionate of reptiles and i'm really interested to keep Tiliqua and i love clear pattern. But i'm afraid to buy an hybrid.

So can you tell me the specie of this animal to help me do not mistake please ?

Thanks a lot !

It can be very hard to tell a hybrid animal just from looking at it. Others better at determining if its a mix will hopefully chime in soon. Cute bluey though
If you are that concerned about it, you should buy from a breeder.

Though it is hard to tell if an IJ is a hybrid (From what I read..) He looks full to me..

Je ne suis pas un expert, mais mon avis est que c'est un irian jaya, je voudrais attendre une réponse de la part des membres expérimentés

Thank you all but i give up because the seller isn't serious... I continue my research. If you know a serious breeder in France ? Or Germany ?

If you ever go to the Hamm reptile expos, you can find some incredible animals there.

I hate when they back out, gets your hopes up too. I've heard Hamm is good, my friends near Berlin drive all the way there for it

So Hamm is just one show... If i want good BTS i must know a good breeder and book animals...

Hamm is the most frequented Reptile Expo in the world I believe.
There are many good breeders that go there.
What is a book animal though?

Of course i know Hamm but it's just a place... You can't found your animal just if you go. Lot of peoples sell hybrids and wrong species. Hamm is just good to take appointment with good breeder with you trust in him.

I would kill to go to a Hamm expo...Expos are always toss ups as to what breeders are good and which are total scum-bags, but research online about them, as well as asking people in the community what they know can be incredibly helpful. I always hear that tons of the great breeders go to Hamm! <3

Thank you Jeff ! Do you know Tiliqua s. chimaerea ? I'm afraid for wild behavior of this specie...

[Jeff]

I have never kept Tanimbars myself, so won't comment on their behavior, but there are a number of people on the forum that can give you good first hand experience with them.

Thank you ! I've made a new post for this question.
