I think he is wild caught but I did not know before I bought him but he is skittish and has a couple scars. When you walk by the tank he doesn't care but if you reach your hand down to pick him up he will get very nervous. I've been working on taming him down and he is getting better and I will continue to do so. Specifically he is a Merauke Blue Tongue skink 23 in long subadult. He will need at least a 4'by2'by 16". Can negotiate price a little. Also he does calm down after a couple minutes of handling him.
