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.

Heyah Melissa. Good to see you around!!

I LOVE BTS, but I am no good at IDing. Hope someone here can help.

:)

Yours looks lovely!

Thanks, good to see you, too, LadyOhh! I come in and out now and then, but working on my website along with the FaceBook vortex keep me otherwise occupied... not to mention all the animals!

My guess would be a northern

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!

I see lateral orange stripes.....:confused:


May I ask how you know it is a female?

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

They really are cool lizards.

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.

:D:D Hey there!

Definitely a looker. :gj: 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. :D (FYI - Melissa sent me a sample of a great skink protein food.)
