Identifying my Blue Tongue

I have been looking online, I was told Blue was a northern when I first got him and even then I was skeptical.

After looking online he looks to me like a marauke or an Indonesian but I am not too sure. If someone could give me some clarity it would be much appreciated.

Black legs: this is not a scincoides. You have either Indonesian, Merauke or IJ.

Definitely not a Northern or a Classic Indonesian. Post a picture from above. Looks like a Merauke.

100% not a Northern (T. s. intermedia).
It is definitely T. gigas of some sort. More pictures could help narrow it down.

Appears Merauke, IJ or cross thereof.

I’m gonna say IJ as it looks as though he has the trident marking thing on his neck same as my Ventress
