What Type of BTS is this please?

[Raven9464]

Hi Everyone
I'm a newbie, and bought this skink today at an expo for my son. The guy said it was a 1 1/2, but didn't tell me what kind of BTS it was. I was hoping someone here could?
Thank you in advance

Looks like an IJ with a wacky attitude Birds-eye view pictures would help to be sure on ID though.

Welcome to the forum

I would agree with the ID - just because yours looks just like mine. Is the first BTS that has joined the family?

Yep, this is our first BTS. My son & I have been looking for one for quite awhile now and were very lucky to find this one yesterday at the expo! =}-<

I know what you mean - as little as a year ago, I didn't know these wonderful animals existed...now totally captivated by them.

I am in Wisconsin - I don't think skinks are as popular or known of in our area - but perhaps that will change soon. I know I have been talking them up - bringing my Skeeter to the local pet shop to show him off (this incouraged at this pet store).

As you already know - there is a lot of info on the care sheet - so if you still have questions - even if it is there and you missed it (I know it too me a couple (alright 4) readings before I had all my questions (at the time) answered you can just post the question...the people are very helpful, and even friendly

It looks like it is about to shed. Could you take some pics of its head/neck area after it sheds? Looks a little bit like a merauke. But a picture of the head neck area will help me confirm what it is

[skeetersmom]

I agree with XX (didn't look that close initially) - since this is your first bluey - may I suggest you read up on shedding on the care sheet - really important things to know, even if you have had different reptiles.

[Raven9464]

Will def. post head and neck shot after shed. I was told it was about to shed when I purchased it. And I will read up on shedding, thank you for the suggestion =}-<

Thank you! Now we know what type it is, and my son finally named it "Ermac"
so hopefully, it's a boy LOL otherwise we will have to change the name to Erma =)-<
