Questionable Northerns

Postby LizardMomma » Sat Aug 26, 2017 9:57 am

Hey everybody. A friend of mine asked me to look at these pictures to see if I could tell whether his skinks were pure Northerns or not. It's hard for me to say for sure but I feel like maybe some of them are not. Was hoping maybe some of you could give some input.

Not an expert but they look like very nice easterns to me and I think maybe the 3rd one is pregnant.

Does your friend know where they got them from. Name or breeder or who sold them?

I think that's Snakes at Sunset who is selling off his colony. Does that sound right?

Snakes at sunset bought a ton of bts over the last few years. Some of the babies I've seen offered haven't looked pure. I know he didn't get any skinks from any of the reputable breeders here. Managed to *tick them all off (that's a story for another time). Personally I wouldn't trust the purity of those animals. Most of those came from Europe and there's ALOT of hybrid skinks from there. Could someone of the be pure. Probably.
