I would perhaps put more greenery around the perches to make it feel more secure. If the sides of the cage are clear, you might want to also cover 3 of them and the top or something so that it doesn't feel quite so out in the open. It's a really neat looking animal, so I wouldn't complain except that it's probably farmed. I'd get it fecaled to be sure it's free from parasites though.

my limit knowledge i would say a hybrid of some sort, biak type have big nostrils and she/he doesn't have that, and the pattern looks very aru like to me, but she/he has a longer tail, were arus types have a stubby tail... so your guess is better than mine.

in the end locality's don't matter, the animal has a very nice baby pattern, sounds like its healthy, who cares about putting a local name on it. you liked what u saw and bought it. nuff said.

hello

and the spots on the head i dont know what that is

when i look at him myself it looks just white and its still...

I'm guessing Aru type also. I've got some pics of Sorong adult and young in the classifieds. Besides the dorsal striping, another trait of the Sorong is the black tail tip, young or old.

Congrats on the new gtp baby to your collection!! It definitely looks to be an '07 or possibly older hatchling to me too. My guess is that the seller was just a broker/jobber and may not have truly known himself about the locality. I would guess that it is definitely not sorong/jayapura (mainland type) and from your description of a few random bits of green on the head I would lean more towards a biak type locale.

Aru babies look very similar to that also but when they go...
