Definitely not a northern, I believe he’s an Irian Jaya or meruake.

Thank you, and just out of curiosity how do you determine the species of the skink, Thanks.

In this case, visually. It is an obvious Irian Jaya. There are many sources online to identify, and you may confirm by posting here. A disturbing amount of imports are misrepresented as Australian (which would only be captive bred in this country) as the sellers themselves have no clue. Rampant at expos and uneducated pet shop employees.
