Everyone seemed to be mixed on this guy so now that he's alittle bigger, I'd thought I give it a try again. The second to last bar is connected at the bottom if you look closely.

Looks like my little Indos, but I have a terrible time with this.
 
From the head/body shape, I would say IT.
 
I don't know who would be mixed up by this one, its obviously an IT.

Nice looking at that.:grinno:
 
Thanks guys! There were some people saying that it might've been a Wide Bar. And since I've seen a "chart" on how the stripes around the tail goes...I wasn't sure myself

Clearly a juvy wide bar ST. congrats
:confused: It's an IT. Note the second bar does not sweep back and does not come to a point at or before reaching the ventral surface--it has perceptible thickness at the bottom. Also, although tail stripes aren't always dispositive, it has three tail stripes, a characteristic shared by all ITs, while STs typically have two tail stripes, but can occasionally have three tail stripes.

If you look closely, the second/third tail stripe is connected...that's why I'm kinda confused on this guy.
