Hm.. well, size of the head and base of the tail says female to me.. but it looks like there may be a bulge underneith.. though that just might be the curvature of the scales..
I'm a newb with PTS, and Australian skinks in general.. which all seem to share huge heads in comparison.
I have no males/females to compare to.. but that's what I'm thinking, hope you have luck finding out what s/he is.

Female, and a nice one at that, Now the only way to be absolutely sure is to introduce more skinks and watch CAREFULLY. but I have a female who could be that things twin, I would love to add her to my collection.

That is correct. Head size is a clue, but not for certain. Males seem to be a bit slimmer, also. Only the skinks know...and they ain't tellin'
