I have this animal now for about 18 months and got it from it's former keeper. It was imported in Germany about 2 - 3 years ago. This is a female animal , she eats really well and is fairly easy to keep. It's id is somewhat difficult but depepnding on what I read so far I would go for hainanensis

Here you see the ribs don't penetrate too much (but she is quite fat)

Cloaca is colored

A view on the belly (transversal lines or not ...)

Further a view from above , the head is not that wide, but remember it's a female...

It looks alot like my T.Wenxianensis. I wouldn't say it was Hainanensis, or at least it's not like any of the Hainanensis i've seen.
