Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Sexing red eye croc skink
I was convinced mine was a male by going off the belly scales. The stomach is a dark reddish brown, and there's the enlarged belly button scales. However, I'm having doubts because I don't see the toe pads on the back feet. Just wondering if anyone has heard of a male not having the pads?

Sexing these guys is extremely difficult at best. Not sure about males with no pads, but I've had females with somewhat enlarged belly scales. Seems like every one I looked at, I could convince myself was male (which was not the case). Sorry, not much help, but I feel your frustration!

Once you compare a definite male and female the differences are pretty apparent, particularly in regards to the pores on the rear feet/toes. I wish I could explain it better but I guarantee once you see adult specimens of each sex you'll have one of those "Ohh!" moments.
Post a few pics of your animals abdomen and rear foot for an educated guess.

All indications are that you have a female.
I used to work with a very large colony and can honestly say I never had one play dead. The "chirping" and flight behavior are normal. They are awesome animals but tend to be more of a hands off type of pet.

That's fairly disheartening. I'll have to call the place and see if they're willing to give me a male instead. : / It was an auction for the specific one so dunno if they will. Puh. Thanks alot for the help, though.

Give Ben Siegal a call. I requested specific sex ratios from him several years ago and he was pretty much spot on. He also gave me a nice discount for purchasing multiple animals which was a bonus.
