BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

So this looks like a Kei Island to me what do you guys think?

I don't know why pics don't work so just copy and paste it in the url

The head looks very scincoides to me.

That was the one I posted up before. no one was real sure what it was. Most agreeed it was likely a uniquly beautiful mutt. Many were leaning towards a KeixIJ or EasternxIJ.

I don't think it's a pure Kei; I was looking at some other pics of Kei's, and this one doesn't have the speckling effect that most seem to have. It strikes me more as a faded Indo or something along those lines. Just my two cents.

Mm.. ya not sure either

Not a kei. Not a pure animal. It's an interesting mutt though.

It is a pure animal, and is almost assuredly wild caught. This is once again the PERFECT example of why Glenn Shea considers Merauke and IJ the exact same species. An animal very similar to this is ID'd as a T. gigas evanescens in the bluey bible. Some might call it an IJ, some might call it a Merauke, but to Glenn, they are one in the same. This animal comes from western papua where both IJ's and Merauke's are found in the wild. The animal could seriously pass as either.....if I were forced to choose, I would choose IJ.

Glenn Shea is a genius of BTS!
