    By the way, how can everyone already tell what locale it is!? Mind you I'm so so new to BTS so I wouldn't be able to tell which is which, except that they are different.

    Different locals or species have different bandings, coloring, leg colors, builds and lengths. If you look at the last picture I posted of Bonnie on her neck you see 3 lines that band together towards the bottom. They call this a "trident" and it is one of the best identifiers for determining if its an IJ. http://www.bluetongueskinks.net/ If you look in the table on the left hand side it lists the different locals and species, when you click on them it gives you some unique identifiers to look for. Over time you will get use to it.

    *Also remember the belly pic I showed you of Clyde. The IJs and some Indo that I have seen have red bellies as well.

    I've been to that website (and forum) countless times! It's so detailed. Awesome.
    I guess it'll just take some time and learning on my part, like with snake morphs. Thanks!
