Halmaheras/ Caramel BTS.

Postby gehtan » Fri Jul 26, 2013 7:02 pm

Are there any more information about the Halmaheras or Caramel BTS? Like what is the maximum size? pathology? traits and others? :O
This breed is so hard to search ond due to the lack of information in the net.

look into indos and your particular locale of them

they can get pretty big,but alot of there length is tail,look at an average size of 60 cm but potential to easily put a bit more length on then that

Do you mean caramel northerns? They are from a different species to the Indonesians. Northerns are originally from Australia, but they have been line bred outside Australia to accentuate certain colour traits or patterns.

No, he meant Caramel Blue-Tongue, Lea. People from Indonesia and surrounding countries are starting to label them Caramel Blue-Tongued Skinks for some reason.
