Answer
Skinks are so hard to tell male or female.  They do not show the bulges that Agamids have, or the enlargement of the femoral pores.  If you changed the substrate to a solid dark colored mat when and if your skink is an adult, you may find clear waxy bits during spring.  Those are seminal plugs and would mean you have a male.
