Wouldn't jump to the conclusion that he's a he, but definitely a hefty skink worth acquiring.
I'm going out on a limb and saying this skink might be a female.

Yeah I have no idea on gender, I was going to look into having it sexed. Happy to hear everyone's approval!
Another thing though, I don't know much about the types of BTS, is 'he' a northern? or something else?

Yes, he is a Northern.
What do mean looking into having it sexed?

Oh I just needed to do some research, I remembered passing over something about BTS not being able to be probed( or something along those lines), so I wanted to look into that more because if it was as easy as getting it probed I would want to do that haha
However the gender really doesn't matter to me

Probing is proven to be inconclusive with BTS.
Good luck with your new dude if/when you get him! Posts pictures when you do get him.

Sigh. The guy said he'd hold him for me til tomorrow and I just texted him to set up a time to meet and he said "Sorry just sold him ten minutes ago."

Ophidiophile in this forum is in Colorado. Not sure what he's breeding this year, but he has a ton of cool skinks!

Hoping to have Northerns this year but I thought that last year and even after 2 good locks, got a pile of slugs.
So I'm not counting my skinks before they appear.

Oh thank you! I had no idea there was anyone out here.
And I completely understand, Ophidiophile. I would love to know how your breeding turns out this year
