Can I sex blue tongue skinks by how they react to each other?

I have two blue tongue skinks, but do not know the sex of either. I'm thinking I might get a clue about their sex by breifly introducing them and closely observing how they react to each other. Is this a viable method?



If so, what are the different reactions to different combinations of sexes? Will males immediately try to attack each other? Do females more-or-less ignore each other (wouldn't keep them together, of course)? Will a male/female combo generally result in the male "checking her out"? Any info would be useful.Can I sex blue tongue skinks by how they react to each other?You are right. They can not be probed like Pobilly05 thinks or visually sexed. I have a friend who is a breeder and this is how he sexes them. Females will ignore each other, males will fight visciously, and a male will bite a female and attempt to mate, although he may take a few minutes to get started. This usually works best after being brumated during a cool down, though. Another way is to look for seminal fluids excreted by a mature male.
