Northern. You can tell by almost no spotting or patterns on the front tail, general color scheme with northern is a lot more neutral colors for scale webbing compared to Indonesian species, patterns being stripes of tan/brown that end in grey black or even more tan (which is rare). Northern don't really have any humidity requirements but I would bump it up while he's shedding so it comes off easier. Beautiful skink and welcome to the forum!!!
