Say hello to Skeeter!

Postby skeetersmom » Wed Apr 04, 2012 7:55 am

This is Skeeter - my (now confirmed) I.J. 7 years old 12 inches from nose to vent - and such a sweetie I still can't get over it!

I would personally say Ir-ee-an Jay-a, but I could be completely wrong.

Congratulations on the skink, and figuring out how to post pictures. He looks great! Irian Jaya is the current name of the western half of the New Guinea island. The eastern part is Papua New Guinea. It is pronounced: "eer-ee-ahn jah-yah".

Yes, I agree with ML and Jeff on this. As for Merauke I have heard people say Mer-auk and others say Mer-au-kee. How do you pronounce it?
