Milii Locality

Would anyone like to have a go at the possible locality of this milii??
I got her a few years back from a guy in sydney, not sure where he got her from though.
She has only ever dropped 4 eggs.
2 duds and 1 successful hatchie over each of the last two seasons.
Last seasons hatchie carried mainly the fathers characteristics and so i moved him on, however this years was something special from the word go.
The egg was enormous for the usual sized milii ones that i get layed.
Upon hatching, i knew straight away what genes dominated this time round- the mothers. Dark appearance, really lengthy tail, strong yellow markings around the head and mid back, and slightly different white markings on the tail. He's proving to be one of my best hatchies ever with feeding, and i often think he's on the juice.
Anyhow given the way this guy has come out i'd really like to get a rough idea on the locality of the mother so that i can hopefully line up a partner for mine when the time comes, and line breed this variation.

Fire away with the guesses, and please if you think you can verify it or back it up with something please do so.

Regards
Mat

i have NO IDEA!

but she looks very rough and a bit dull, if she is not coming upto a shed, then i have seen alot of WA milii look similar.....

but like i said its just a guess and i in no way have any evidence to back up my suggestion!

I'm of the same opinion- based on pics of WA pics i've seen.
Nah not coming up for a shed.
She's always like that, the pic isn't really doing her justice either. She tends to be a real strong dark mouve/brown (i can't work out which it is at times). The tails is massive in comparison to my other specimens and she holds the yellow markings around the face and top of her head quite nicely.

Anyone else have a say on the matter??

Anyone with milii pics of their own that may be similar??

Here is a wild Sydney one. They tend to have a dark background with high yellow tubercles.

i would say the top one is not a WA locality, i read somewhere that the WA's have oval shaped spots and these look circular. but i have no experience or knowledge of geckos.

I also think that MoreliaMatt.
The tails structure look a little similar.

You can never know for sure Twiggz it may be a cross between many different localities.
