Oh gosh.. A Yellow Indonesian. :shock: :love:

I bet if that thing has some better husbandry and sheds all them layers of shed off, this will be an absolute gorgeous little dude. If you don't mind me asking, but what is the price they are asking for?

..and yes, this is definitely a boy.. :)

I wouldn't pay that much for a gigas in that condition. Although I do hope someone takes it and gives it some proper care

In reality I wouldn't think of doing something like that, but then again I paid wayyyy to much for 3 of my skinks so far. :doh:
