What type of skinks?

Hi all, Just getting back into the hobby and was curious on what type of skinks I had. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

#1 I have had for almost a year. Phenomenal colors and an all around great attitude. Possibly a mutt of some kind?

#2 Almost a year old - very chubby with an extremely bright orange stomach. Great attitude and a great eater.

#3 I was told is the sibling of the one pictured above. Very very skittish and not as full bodied as its sibling. I'm assuming Irian Jaya for both?
Image

#4 I have had for almost 6 years. I'm assuming Irian Jaya. Super friendly and very curious. (Just out of shed)

#5 JubJub my first blue. She has been in the family for almost 12 years. Another Irian Jaya I'm assuming.

I vote Irian Jayas for all of them. Really love those last two!

Thanks for the help! The last two are definitely my favorite as well. The last pictured skink was my first blue and was in really bad shape when I got her. I didn't think she was going to make it but she is still here! The first one really baffles me with the colors and no markings on the arms.

Just added this guy to the collection. Awesome colors and temperament. This makes 6 total for me now. It's been 3 days and the girlfriend hasn't noticed the new addition. Life is good.

I'm a big fan of the IJ's. Northerns seem to be all the craze. Maybe one day I'll pick one up!

They all look like Irian Jayas to me.
