What species is my blue tongue skink?

Postby Blue3 » Mon Sep 05, 2022 6:56 am

Hello everyone

Yesterday i bought a blue tongue skink. The guy i bought it from didn't really know what species or locality the skink is. Is it Tiliqua gigas or Tiliqua scincoides? Can someone please help?

Thanks for your help.

Looks like a hybrid of both. Definitely has both northern and indo features.
1.0.2 Tiliqua scincoides scincoides, Kirra, Bajo and Hestu <3
