Re: fooled again perhaps with a blotchies sex
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.
Makes you want to

Re: fooled again perhaps with a blotchies sex
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

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?
