I'm new to blue tongue skinks, and I have one that I recently bought. I think it is Indonesian, but I would like someone to verify that. Here is a picture: Image

Because of the verry long tail and the long body.
It's in my opinion a tipical male body but maybe we can see it better with pictures taken from above.

I have no experience with bt skinks but i do with many other lizards and males are quite always thinner and longer.

Just my opinion :oops:

I'll pull up some more pictures, like one from above, tomorrow or Thursday. I looked through the ones I had and saw none were from above.
