Both of the smaller skinks look male to me. The bigger one does look female too.

Thank you very much for your opinions.
I've never found the sperm plugs with the bigger skink (up). But I 've found the sperm plugs many times with the smallest skink (down) …

It is very difficult to determine gender just by looking at them. Many here have stated that more 'jowls' indicates a male. I have a female with jowls so jowls isn't necessarily a true indication. Neither is tail to body ratio, nor head shape.

The three year old female happen to be a male, well that is astonishing!

Do you have any pictures that show the entire body and tail? I am having a hard time with the one on the left. The middle one looks mostly male, and the one on the right looks mostly female to me.

I think the same
"the middle looks like a male"
"the right looks like a female"
one photo from today : "the middle looks like a male" and "the left looks like ??"

From that last picture I would say male, but it will probably look different in a few months as it puts on some more weight.
