The sex of my northern bts?

[Hlaugh]

So I got a northern bluey here and he is a sweet heart! I call it a him because the people I purchased him from said it was a male. I've looked up a couple ways of sexing your bts and most people talk about body shape. In my opinion mines body shape resembles more of a female shape than a male. Obviously there are male skinks that have more female features but id like to know what you people think! I'll include pictures. Thanks!

I think it's a boy.... and 'he's a handsome one.

5 visible pointers;

1. Tail length and width (longer and thinner tails = males & shorter wider = females)
2. Head size (bigger pointier heads = males & smaller rounder heads = females)
3. Broader shoulders & narrow hips = males & narrow shoulders wider hips = females
4. Defined hemi-pene bulges = males & lack of hemi-pene bulges = females
5. & of course mating activity etc.

.... but can be hard to tell with skinks .

OK. The link above, provided by kingofnobbys, has to be the biggest load of manure I've read in a long time! I do not know who owns or runs the website with the address that is only one letter different from ours, but from that one section of text I can tell you that, whoever they are, they deserve to be taken on a very long walk off of a very short pier. And that's me putting it very nicely without promoting violence.
I have zero experience with Northerns so I won't even venture a guess for you; I can simply recommend reading THIS and hoping someone with more knowledge than me comes along to give you their opinion.
Good luck!

Haha if I had to guess I'd lean more maleonly because of the relatively short body but it is hard to tell from a photo with scincoides. The lizard is a little on the chunky side, which makes it harder again to tell. There are some "indicators" like hip size but you need several in the one individual to get more confident in the guess.
