Interesting Pattern

[TokayBlueTongue]

This is the bts I'm getting which will be my first bts. The breeder had about 5 holdbacks for sale and I chose this one because I looked it up and this pattern isn't that common. So is this a rare pattern or is it just like a human finger print how no 2 are identical? I'm purchasing the skink tomorrow and will have it shipped within the next 3 weeks. Cant wait

Picture is too small for me to see anything. Not sure if it's just my iPad not opening it up larger or just a small picture to begin with.

Looks no more different than a classic Northern? Perhaps not resize it down to tiny..

And the patterns of BTS (of all subspecies) are extremely variable.

There are occasionally twins which I'm fairly sure have the same pattern; Susann's last litter had a pair of twins in it.
Edit: It looks like the twins did not have the same pattern, not sure how that works

It's tiny for me too. It doesn't look unusual from the small picture...

Sorry for bad picture, first time uploading an image on this forum. Its just when I was looking on the bts northern blue tongue page they had a pattern that looked like this down as a unique pattern and I was just curious if it was a unique pattern on this individual.

I think the yellow comes up further than typical.. but not something I would consider rare.

Pretty for a Northern ( ..only kidding)

Darn I really thought it was like I rare pattern with the almost triangle like bands across its back. But I really like how the bands are connected and not zig-zag like most of the ones I was looking at. Still a beautiful pattern in my opinion

It's interesting looking but it's not rare.
It's a nice skink nonetheless.

All because something isn't rare does not make it any more desirable IMO.

Common animals are just as awesome.

I'm still super siked to get it I will be posting pics once I get it home and the tank all set up. God the anticipation is killing me

It's a very nice looking little northern, but that pattern isn't really uncommon. Good looking skink! Congrats.

Thanks I thought the pattern looked very unique and not like any of the other holdbacks the breeder had for sale.

It is very unique and definitely different from most of the northerns being sold, but there are quite a few northerns that look like that. Congrats on the purchase!
