These guys were born 3 seasons ago spent a fair bit of that time after first 6 months outdoors,so not overly big for there age

I must be getting old,last couple of seasons ive got a couple wrong,young northerns and last season a vic alpine blotchie i swore was a male that ended up dropping a litter,lol and is looking great for going again this season with a few matings at least under her belt recently

Will have to watch these two and see what happens

I'm still on the fence with my newest Halmahera. The thing tries to kill anything it encounters, but Hunter still treats him/her as a "her." He goes wack-o when presented in front of another male, but doesn't bat an eye for a skink that tries to crush his skull. Lol. It has no bulge, but it is hard to tell because I don't know what season it is cycled to.

When Maxx gets back, I'm going to try them out. Probably will end up restraining her mouth somehow if he/she continues with the craziness, as bad as I hate to.

Don't worry, Richard. They all look healthy and happy, that's the main thing. I've had Nippy 12 years now, I think, but it's taken him until only Recently to work out he was really a boy and started to get amorous with the girls. I'm sure you can be forgiven when the skinks can't even work it out for themselves :noknow:

Nice when you have so many that it's not a big deal what sex they are! We don't have that luxury over here (except for Kim).

How can you tell them all apart when you have so many of them housed together?
