Male or female?
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this skink is a male or female. It is a northern blue tongue skink that i just recently purchased as unsexed and i am not an expert. I am leaning towards male but I'm not 100% sure. He has good oranges and a pretty triangular head. The picture is pretty accurate of his coloring. Thanks for your help.

Re: Male or female?
Just curious where in CA are you and from where this animal was purchased. Pet store, CL?
Their is no way to tell with that picture. Post a top down photo showing the animals entire body and we could guess...the only way to know for sure is dropping of sperm plugs if male.
