Pretty sure he's just an Indonesian but I thought I'd double check. A few people have told me he looks a bit "weird". He has a lot of cool markings on his face!

Thank you! I do love his dark handsome face. Still haven't decided on a name for him yet.

His colors don't seem right for kei to me but his face definitely looks speckled like a kei. It's weird

Yes, Classic Indo. Looks very much like the first BTS I ever owned, purchased from a local pet shop in 1982! I had zero attention span back then unfortunately, and he was traded off soon after. Also bought a shingleback from the same pet shop for a whopping $250. In the 80's that was a chunk of change, but a tiny fraction of what that lizard would cost today!! Your gorgeous Indo brought me some nice memories. Congratulations on your new pet, and all the best!
