Hi everyone,
I've read some threads in this forum and decided to join you.
I hope I will receive some help, as well as being able to offer some as well.
My situation, actually, is that I'm not sure of the Tiliqua gigas sub-species I own.
Male pics attached.

Thanks splashy07.
Now some pics of the female that was sold to me together with the aforementioned male, in order to have a pair.

Re: BTS Sub-species ID Help Needed
The second skink you posted is a classic Indonesian. The first skink is a bit tricky. Definitely both Tiliqua Gigas gigas but I think from different locales.

Re: BTS Sub-species ID Help Needed
Well thank you very much, mb606587.
Kind of what I thought too.
As they were sold to me as an evanescens/Merauke pair
(for a more expensive price than for a classic Indonesian)
and since after some investigation I came to the conclusionthey weren't a Merauke pair
(but wanted confirmation/expertise by experienced people, like splashy07 and you), I gave 'em back to the seller.
I will wait for a more serious offer from other breeders...
Case closed, I guess.
