My "Newer form" Merauke, Creep.
2.5 years old.
22 inches.
Suspected Female.
Temperament: She is in constant hiding in her cage, but is the calmest skink i own out of it. she doesnt mind snuggling, but likes to explore. Shes my favorite. She has never bitten us, and rarely goes to the bathroom on us (and never because shes upset at us lol).

My Irian Jaya, Baneling.
8 months old.
19 inches.
possible male? unknown.
Temperament: Extremely cage aggressive, very bitey. Once you get him out, he just wants to explore and do it his way. Hes very pretty, but always looks so evil :) We love him all the same though...silly goose! He loves his tubes.

My Indonesian, Zergling.
1.5 years old
19 inches.
Possible female? unknown.
Temperament: Shes active in her cage, but hates being taken out. She's a peer, and does so often when taken out. Shes the pickiest eater of all my skinks, but thats alright. She is very pretty, and is fun to watch, especially since shes also interested in watching us!

They all look nice. Id love for you to keep us updated on sexes. I have my own idea of sexes and would love to see if I am correct.

lol i have no idea what sexes they are. The breeder I got the IJ from said he "might" be male, and the guy that sold me the Merauke claimed she was female, but he also sold her to me as an Indonesian Giant :o

Any guesses on sexes would be welcome, as all genders i currently have are really unknown. I havent seen my Indo evert hemipenes while pooing or peeing all over me though, so she may well be female.

I'd have to switch the others to reptile carpet in order to see sperm plugs, so there is no way to know at this time.

thanks for all the nice comments :)
