Picked this one up in Daytona last year. Any idea on what it is? I've been keeping it like a northern or eastern as I work with both and a few others, I am thinking Irian Jaya or? Scientific name preferred if possible. I can post more pics if needed. Thanks!

With the black lines going down the body from the head to tail
(not the brown bands)and the patternless front legs i would say
t.s.scincoides eastern b.t.skink.

gazz, your right, i overlooked the fact that it could be eastern. the only thing is that i have seen irian jayas with dark patternless front legs like this one has, and also, this one doesn't have stripes in back of its eyes, which you see alot with easterns. then again, all easterns have patternless front legs, and some easterns dont have stripes in back of their eyes like this one, so now i am up in the air. before i was very sure it was irian, but now after your post i am unusure between the two. i would love to see what james wilson thought about this one.
