How to tell the difference between classic Indonesian and Halmahera?
Posted: Fri May 01, 2020 11:39 pm
I have looked everywhere for information and I can't seem to tell the difference. I scrolled through pages and pages of "What kind of skink do I have" testing myself, and I seem to only get it right half of the time. The species identification page doesn't have any information about the locale, just Indonesians as a whole.
Basically from what I've gathered, if it isn't yellow/yellow-green it's a halmahera? They all seem to have an orange or axanthic colouring, but then I come across darker skinks and I have no idea...
Here's an image of google images and I've tried to identify some. Am I right with these?

Also, This skink of Morakie's, what gives this away as a halm?
