I have purchased a new Bts, which I'm picking up Saturday. But I'm a little pussled by its look. Seller says eastern, I first thought tanimbar. Maybe not a pure animal? But still pretty and I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

Help to identify new bts
Hi all
I have purchased a new Bts, which I'm picking up Saturday. But I'm a little pussled by its look. Seller says eastern, I first thought tanimbar. Maybe not a pure animal? But still pretty and I'm sure I'll be happy with it.

Looks like a pale Tanimbar to me, but I have no experience to be speaking to the purity of it.

Tanimbar Islands BTS, Tiliqua scincoides chimaerea. It could be the hue distortion of the photo, but it looks mostly like a silver phase. They come out of Indonesia a myriad of colors. Great pick up!
