oh and both varietys can have the same patterning,even blotches or oddly spaced blotches,but alpines r generally bigger,i say generally as ive had an old male lowlands,passed away now unfortunatly that measured 59 cms,i find alpines can be solider,lowlands more sausage like,but thats not a given,as ive seen both types can be either way,looking at your newer pic of vic,im not 100 percent sure if i stick with my call of female,id prefer to see in person as pics can be decieving,but still a good chance vic might b victoria,lol,and the younger on to,my alpines r north east vic type,black and yellow,thats the mum of the baby thats pictured with the lowlands baby,regardless if you think alpine or lowlands,nice looking blotchies,and definatly my fave type bluey

oh and lowlands can have a yellow tinge to them,thought id add that,ive seen plenty with that,and pinkish to,but a true alpine will stand out like elephant balls on a jack russel compared to lowlands color wise,and dont have a pic of a cross handy to show u,there hibernating here right now,ill keep my eye out if one pops out for a bask but they r brighter than a lowlands the crosses i have,u can tell there from an alpine,but they have gray heads from the lowlands still,when i get a pic u will see what i mean,they resulted from an indoor breeding,quite a few years ago now
