Re: Skink pics! Gender guesses welcome too.
I love that IJ. For guesses on the gender, it would be best to get at picture straight down from above of the whole skink (body and tail) in the straightest line possible. on a flat surface.

Looks female to me.. not the best sexing photos, though.
You have one of the most beautiful IJ I have ever seen. It is a lighter version to my first BTS, Thiswai.

Re: Skink pics! Gender guesses welcome too.
Wow! Thank you. It means a ton coming from members like you guys 
Mimo, thank you! Your English is just fine. Much better than some native speakers.
I hope these pics will help. I had to snap them quickly. The second I put the skink down, it wanted to go exploring.
From what I've read and seen, the narrower head, thinner neck, sides, and tail base. I also know these methods aren't the most accurate and, truth be told, I am about the furthest thing from an expert

Re: Skink pics! Gender guesses welcome too.
Looking at his neck stripes my guess is male
Can be tricky to tell from pics,though has a male looking body and head looks distinct from neck,though in saying that it isnt overly solid of head for its length,but may still need some growing
Could be wrong though as its quite tricky sexing from pics,especially if no obvious signs,nice looking ij regardless

Re: Skink pics! Gender guesses welcome too.
Looks male to me, by head shape, relatively fine hips and relatively short snout to vent length. Looks in pretty good shape so on a female I would expect to see more fat storage at the base of the tail. No offence girls

Re: Skink pics! Gender guesses welcome too.
Thanks for the replies, all
Well, if I had just waited a day longer, I would have found out. I was handling him today and had him out on my lap. Next thing you know, my leg feels wet...and he's peed on me. Not just pee, though. A portion of it was white and stringy. Got my answer. Congnrats to those of you who guessed male
