Update on Genesis my Halmahera Blue tongue Skink

[Ruvik]

So it had been a long while since I updated on my BTS Genesis. I got her/him from a reptile show when she was only a month old. I basically raised her/him myself and this is my first BTS. Its been a few months now she/he was 3 months the last update and is now 9 months old. I was wondering what you all think of her/him and if he/she still looks healthy. She/he is a bit grey at the moment due to getting ready to shed, but normally she/he is a nice bright orange. I also updated her/his enclosure giving her more room to climb around on and move. She/he is now a large 19inches and most likely still growing. He/she is now a big 368 grams. Do you think he/she will get longer and how much fatter do you think she/he will get? Also is there any way to tell her/his sex yet?

I keep going back and forth getting both male and female vibes, but I think in the end I keep landing on leaning towards more female than male....

At 19 inches s/hes probably getting close to full size, but I think you'll still see some more growth, both in length and in weight. Looks solid and healthy to me.

Thanks Ms. Susann. I keep thinking it's a female as well, but I guess we will have to see when he/she gets to breeding age and if sperm plugs are ever dropped. Maybe even if she/he is fully grown it would be easier for us to tell. I know she still has about 200-300gs more. I'm hoping to get maybe 2-4 more inches from her, but I know that will be rare to have a 23 inch Halmahera.

This is Genesis when she is just about fully shed in natural sunlight. I loooove her color.
