22" (at least, I have to measure) I tried to get a weight, I was getting 820+ and I couldn't even get the tail on the scale, and I couldn't find a big enough box to weigh her in. She may need to go on a little diet, Sh,Sh..(I think she likes her food alot) She looks female to me (but of course that is what I want!) I will try to get some top down photos soon and post. Here are a couple of her in her new home, relaxing and basking. She is so sweet! I have renamed her. Her new name is Calypso.My new skink is here! (pics)

I wanted to make her feel at home so I fed her a meal. She dove right in. Too funny my other 2 didn't eat for several days when they first got here!

A couple more pictures. I can't believe how friendly and calm she is. Out basking most of the day! Both my others are very friendly now, but it took them a while to warm up to us and not hide all the time.
