I'm normally very wary of calling any gigas a Merauke, but those two look the part as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry guys I've been gone all day. The BTS' are Rowe's. I met him on ReptiTrade.com. I voted northern for him because that's what he thought. I told him they were probably Indonesian. And I told him I would find out for him.

well, as merauke is not an option, I just put Indo, but their tails are quite long. How flecked are their faces? Indos tend to have more freckles than Meraukes. Definitely gigas though.

Heh, why is Western an option....Jacob, I think you know the species better than that by now? And like Morgan said, you OWN an Indo!

They look like wherever Sunny came from. They resemble Merauke mostly, but don't have a perfectly clean tail like this:

They resemble Sunny's tail though:
