what kind of skink?

Postby mjk19 » Fri Oct 26, 2012 12:23 pm

I don't have any pics yet, but i'll try to give a description the best I can. The skink is an over all gray golor, with thin brown bands on it's back. The front legs are a grayish color with no black or another marking. The back legs are typical black with some gray. There are no markings on the throat or head. Any idea of what type this is? I think it might be a cross between a northern and irian jaya.

It can't be a Merauke if the front legs are clean as described :P :lol: It actually sounded Merauke to me too, but the clean legs led me to IJ. Fun way to ID, but I can't wait for the pics.
