Sexing my skink

[Gregcalverley]

I’ve got a 15 month old northern blue tongue skink, curious as to what everyone thinks the sex is. She’s just over 18 inches long, thank you!

Sorry everyone didn’t realize the pictures were too big, they should be good now, any guesses on the sex would be awesome thank you!

Any guesses on the sex?

Looks male, just a guess

[Gregcalverley]

Alright thanks, anybody else have a guess?

Alright thanks, anybody else have a guess?

I’d keep an eye out for certain behaviors especially if you have other skinks. My younger skink that I thought was female since I got them just started having sperm plugs and getting very territorial around my other male skink so it’s clearly a male. Things like that.

I agree with splashy. My guess is male as well

[Gregcalverley]

Thanks guys, she/he is our only blue tongue right now and we were just curious, we were kinda thinking male also just by some of the research we have done

I haven’t seen any sperm plugs but he is on a coco coir, orchid bark substrate so I’m guessing it would be kind of hard to see, I’ll have to keep checking everyday and see if I can find any.
