The first picture looks like a female by the heavy build of its body. I would like to use something called the C/A Biometric ratio to determine the sex, but it is a little difficult to determine as the picture is at a bad angle. This ratio is of the width of the head divided by the widest girth of the body. It is not 100% accurate, but it is good as a general guide. A picture like to second skink is much easier to determine sex from. The second appears female. It does look somewhat skinny in the pelvic/lower abdomen region, so you might want to have that checked out. jrbl
