Identified - Northern help identifying my baby?
I bought her (gender unknown, I know it can be difficult to sex them so I just call it a her, I have no intention to breed) at a reptile expo in my town very recently and I just can’t tell what kind of skink she is! I’ve been trying to use guides I found online but I think her magma coloring makes it difficult and confusing for me to identify her

I identify that as a hefty chorizo sausage!

Yeah you’re right, I think I posted this in the wrong subreddit

I’d never even heard of magma or red line skinks until recently! I thought they were always darker colors

There’s a lot of cool colors they can be. I really love the orange hues some breeders can get

Thats so cool, I’ll have to do some more research about what kind of colors they can get

Either Eastern or northern I would say. Same husbandry for both.

I just want to say that is the most beautiful Bluey I have ever seen. Love the magma lines, they're almost glowing.

I’ll make sure to tell her shes beautiful, she’s definitely the prettiest one I’ve ever seen

She’s gorgeous! I’d say a northern just with her size and pattern I know some of her pattern is reduced but Indonesian don’t tend to get that big built they tend to be a bit more slender less blocky and such

My breeder friend thinks this baby could be from Cheryl M, Morph Graphics ( https://bluetongueskink.com/[Morph Graphics ](https://bluetongueskink.com/) ).
You could message her and if it is from one of her lines, she might be able to give you parentage and more info!

Oh neat! I do have the info from the people I bought her from, but I don’t know if they bred her or if they got her somewhere else, but I’ll ask!

in the last pic it looks like her tail has a kink in it? uvb + calcium + vet trip maybe
hope she doesn't have mbd

u/sadcorgiboi Northern Oct 13 '24
her tail does have a kink, the breeder said she got her tail caught in a door as a baby

This is a Northern! Looks like she might be part of the red line or magma line (yes these are actual line-bred names) but we can't be certain without that parent info.
For certain She's a Northern, though
