Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What Morph Northern BTS is this?
Hello I picked up this beautiful northern blue tongue a couple months because I really liked the color. I was told it was a hypomelanistic when I got it but I really wasn't concerned because I have always wanted a BTS. Now that I look at it I don't think it looks like a hypo when compared to couple pictures I found of them. His sides and under belly are completely pink and around his horizontal stripes on his back. If anyone can help with the morph Identification I would greatly appreciate it. If you need anymore pics I will gladly provide.

To me, it looks like the resulting offspring of a northern that has been crossed with a Tanimbar bts. The give away is that shine on the scales (very Tanimbar-ish).

So you are fairly confident this is cross between 2 species and not a pure northern?

I can't ever be sure with something like this, but it is very unusual. Tanimbars have very subdued muted color and very shinny scales. If I were to do a Tanimbar northern cross, your animal looks very much like what I would expect. Do you know its age, or who produced it? How long is it?

At this point, I would say I was reasonably sure.

Even when I use the flash while photographing other BTS, I do not get that shine reflection. I only get that kind of shine from the Tanimbar BTS.

He is about 20.5 inches long and 3-4 years old. I picked him up from a local that was selling for a good price and I had always wanted a northern bts so I picked him up. I was told he was a hypo but I really wasn't concerned because I wasn't planning on breeding or anything, just wanted a pet. I don't remember where he said he got it from. Now I'm looking to sell for him for pretty much what I got him for but I don't want to say he is something that he isn't. I really appreciate your help though.

He looks like a nice looking animal. It is hard to make a call with this guy. He is a little on the small side for a northern, but not off the scale. His pattern is Northern all the way. his color is muted, but that is not that uncommon for northerns. It is that shine that gets me. Maybe it is the lighting, or your flash. That being said, I still have a hunch something else is at play. but if I had to make a call other than a potential cross, it would have to be a Northern. I hope that helps.
