Definitely not. It's a halmahera locale indonesian import. Requires very high humidity, and as imports commonly carry parasites, a vet check is recommended.

I agree with splashy on getting them checked out by a vet, a lot of imports can have some mild complications starting out.

Thanks for the replies! Yeah I didn't think it was a northern but wanted confirmation. He/she will definitely be getting a check up at the vet.
