BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Okay, so in my area there's this GREAT pet store who had these two blue tongues. I've been looking into breeding for a while, but one of mine is a hybrid and the other means too much to me to be a breeder (meaning if anything were to go wrong with her... I'd be devastated, to say the least.) So I got these two.
They were sexed by someone at the Philedelphia Zoo, so I'm pretty sure it's a male and a female...


I noticed that the bigger one is really firm in the belly and I think she's gravid...
The pet store people had no idea what kind of skinks they were, so they told me Northern over the phone and when I got there I was like "hahaha, NOT NORTHERN... but, I'll take them."
They look like Kei Islands to me, but I want to see what you guys think. And if they are, how would I go about breeding these guys?

Thanks guys!

Looks to be T gigas gigas to mee.

gigas for sure...good enough they didnt think it's a tegu...

They look cute, are they a greenish in person or is from lighting? also what does Gravid mean exactly i've seen it said a fair few times but never knew the meaning.

Indonesians(Tiliqua gigas gigas)

Classic Indonesian. Pretty guys, but they have some toe issues. Make sure you use a humidity friendly substrate, that is not Aspen.

Thanks! Yes, they are a greenish color in person. Gravid means pregnant.
I hope to breed them sometime around next year, because A. the male is a bit small and B. they didn't go through brumation properly. So I plan to bulk them up and breed them next year. Patience is key.

I know, I took them to the vet to get that checked out already. Soaking once a day on each. The thing is is that one of the toes on the female was strangulated, so it was huge... but it still had bloodflow after the vet picked all of the dead skin off. So we'll see what happens. The vet said to treat it with betadine and soaking, but if it turns black then I can either carefully snip it off or have her do it.
I usually keep them on carpet to prevent them from getting impacted (lost my first reptile to that, very sad...) and since they have constant soaking I think that will be fine. I just don't want anything getting stuck in the wound of the one's big toe- it's an open wound, blood and all.

Sorry for the late replies by the way- been busy with school.

EDIT: Oh and when I took the one to the vet with the strangulated toe (Big one, suspected female) She was not gravid (at that moment).
