If any of you wonderful skink gurus could help ID this guy, I would be super grateful! All I know for sure is that the previous owner says his friend brought it back from Malaysia. He was calling it a gold skink, but I realized upon getting it home that it doesn't look like the few "Gold Skinks" I've seen.
Thank you in advance for any help!!

So a "gold skink" after all! I still have a lot to learn.. I had no idea these guys exhibited sexual dimorphism. Thank you!

Re: Asian skink ID?
I would not be surprised if she's underweight. To put it nicely, her previous owner isn't exactly a very smart keeper. He had her housed with 3 alligator lizards and a fence lizard, so there was more than enough competition to keep her from getting her fill. Wouldn't be surprised if there are also parasites at play.
