    Pic of my BTS - FINALLY!!

    Here is a link to a picture of my BTS, Zelda. http://www.crittersandconservation.c...e-tongue-skink
    She'll be two in December. Anyone able to ID her? I just can't put a finger on it.

    Looks good either way.

    It lacks the lateral orange blotches of a Northern. Perhaps it's an Irian Jaya, or a hybrid between the two. She's a looker!

    According to her former human (who was an employee of said store), Zelda was born to a wild caught gravid female at a pet store chain. She JUST shed last night. So this means I'll get a better picture, maybe two, and post those as well!

    She looks Indonesian, maybe Irian Jayan. Need a pic of her back.

    I have seen more pictures of Northerns and I think that is what she is. I still owe you all better pictures. Maybe after tomorrow...? I'm teaching a parks and rec class to kids called "Animal Adventures" and Zelda will be the star of the show tomorrow.

    I am not sure of her gender.

    Hey there!

    Definitely a looker. But we'd need a pic showing her legs, back, and belly to even hope to properly ID her. With those dark stripes and no side face stripe, I would lean toward IJ or Meruke... but the legs will tell.

    Pretty baby, no matter what it is. Oh, and my skink Topaz did indeed eat the Turtle brittle when I mixed it in with his cat food. He's slowly getting weaned off mushy foods. (FYI - Melissa sent me a sample of a great skink protein food.)
