ID help wanted!!

Postby tyger » Wed Jul 09, 2014 3:47 pm

Hi everyone!

I am very new to reptile ownership and was wondering if anyone can help me figure out for sure what kind of Blue-Tongued Skink my sweet Conan is. When I got him I was told he is an Eastern but on Facebook someone suggested that he is actually an Irian Jaya.. any thoughts??

It's really common for skinks to be mislabeled up here. Right now someone is advertising an Indonesian as a Northern and someone else is selling a "sexed pair" of Halmaheras as Kei Islands.
