Don't do that, that ruins the voting :doh:

It looks more Eastern than anything else to me, but purely scincoides just the same. I don't see a whole lot of Northern at all, so unless it's 100% proven that there is Northern in it, I'll say Eastern. You'll probably tell me that it is an intergrade though.... :whatever:

What IJ features do you see in it?

ZACH: I actually don't know about the parents. Someone is selling it and I was just curious what it really is. :?

Never seen an Eastern with that color in real life but I'd say Eastern.

Johan: I'd really appreciate your comments on this. I guess I just don't see IJ, but I'm open-minded. Thanks.

I think eastern x northern just because it looks like it's got both in it, I can't see the IJ.
