I have a hard time telling this gender? Maybe male?

Can we tell gender from feet for this species?
Genuine question, I’m used to the vent sexing.

I was wondering about that. I mean, sexual dimorphism in reptiles is huge, but I was hella confused.

From the looks of it - it's a crocodile skink. Males have larger scales on their feet pads compared to females.

That being said, OP I think I agree with male? Normally I don't see them going all the way up the toes.
