[ everybody this is my first post to Blue Tongue skinks. Org I recently just purchased my first blue tongue skink me and my wifesdream lizard. My main question is what subspecies do you think this is ?????? the guy I bought it from said it was Iranian Jawa if I'm saying that correctly. After a few weeks of research I know for sure that she is Indonesian and needs high humidity but I'm not a hundred percent on what subspecies she is if anybody can help me with the pictures I have listed in this post figure out what exact subspecies she is that would be amazing. If it helps her belly is checkered white and black. She is super healthy eating well and she really likes bananas and my wife I think set her a little too many because she's been having diarrhea and that's the only problems that we've had with her thus far. I was told she is two years of age and an Irene Jawa. Any help is much appreciated thank you I just want to take care of her as best that I can and not knowing the subspecies 100% will affect that.

Hi and congrats on your new skink. :thumbs: Based on the images and your description of the belly scales, I believe you may have a Halmahera.
