How much do Tiliqua gigas usually sell for in Jakarta? If you do not mind me asking, that is. Someone in Indonesia said that hybrid/mix-breed BTS are worth more, compared to the pure ones. Just wanting confirmation.

BTW, lovely Kei. Can't wait to get some.

many of which sell t.gigas, but not many are selling keyensis.
true hybrid herein may be worth more because not many breeders and most are sold here catches the wild

Beautiful skink. I'm biased though - I just love Kei Island Blue Tongues!

This is to the person in Indonesia. Do you know if the red colored Keis are from different locales than the greenish specimens?

My old kei group was that same redish color. They were amazing animals.

Most of what I've seen over the last 5 or 6 years have been that green, brown, gold mixture. Not as many true reddish colored animals seem to be imported. Here's a picture of one that did come in when Switzer got a small group a few yrs ago. I've posted this one before but I liked it so much I got to post it again.Here's also a 2nd one of the green, brown, gold color that we now see more of. No, I don't own these anymore. I sent them off to a member who specializes in Indonesian species.

They are beautiful aren't they. I cannot understand why more people are not trying to get this species. That juvenile being posted by the guy from Indonesia is going to be a great looking animal when it's an adult.

They really are. Fantastic animals. I do really prefer the look of my old group over the yellowy one that I have now though. Its a beautiful animal, but not as attractive as the more red variety. I love the look of the one from Indo to. Great animal.
