Pictures please

Postby joshtrout » Sat Apr 07, 2012 7:47 pm

If anyone wouldn't mind posting some pictures of what they consider to be the best of the best representations of each species, I would be much obliged. I guess what I am saying is some really smoking animals of each species. I think I am leaning more towards the Northerns, but if someone can change my mind, well...

On a side note, please no centrillians. I really love the looks of those guys, but chances are there is no real way to get my hands on them. It really sucks cause they are beautiful. Thank you.
Respectfully,

Josh Trout

I only have Northerns and Meraukes, so not much choice. Of the two, I slightly prefer Meraukes, but that it totally personal preference. There are stunning examples of all species, it really depends on what you like.

Probably my favorite (of the ones I have) Merauke:

And favorite Northern (again, of mine):

James Wilson put up pictures of various gigas species a while ago. Some of these are probably as hard, if not harder, to find compared to a centralian, but it shows you what's out there.

I would support going with a northern 100%. I think they are the perfect first BTS. Meraukes are absolutely awesome too, but 99% of them are WC, so I would still give northerns the edge. Also, here is a little info that might be helpful in your decision:

BTS average prices in the U.S.

Irian Jaya - $130
Indonesian - $130
Merauke - $130
Northern - $130
Eastern - $200
Tanimbar - $200
Kei Island - $250
Blotched - $1500
Shingleback - $3000
Centrilian - $3500
Western - $3500
6.10.9 T. s. intermedia
2.2.7 T. s. scincoides
1.2.1 T. nigrolutea
2.2.0 T. r. rugosa
1.2.3 T.g. keyensis
2.0.5 T.s. chimaera
0.0.0. T. occipitalis
0.0.0. T. multifasciata

Can we please clear this up. Tiliqua.multifasciata are NOT centrilians or centrillians, they are C e n t r A l i a n s.

The name is derived from the part of Australia called Central Australia i.e Centralia-n.

Thanks for the info. Those seems to be the prices I am seeing. This site needs a "Thank you button".

That is an example of pronunciation, not spelling.

I'm glad I'm not the only borderline pedantic obsessive speller on the site.

The ironic thing is that it is because I am concentrating so hard on not putting two "L"'s in centralian, that I frequently lose track of the rest of it. :oops:
