well, male skinks tend to have more brilliant coloring than females also the head of a male is broader than a females which is the size of its neck. Some people say check it's underside for spots and if it has spots it's female. Don't, that doesn't matter when sexing a Berber Schneider skink.

Can eating skinks harm a cat?

It depends what type of skink it is. If it's the Southeastern five-lined skink - they have blue tails and are about 5-8 inches long -, then yes; they can cause irreversible nerve damage for the skinks contain toxins. The cat will appear 'drunk', wobbling its head from side to side after eating one. Cats can become paralysed or even die after ingesting a skink. If it's the Eastern Water skink (and if you're in Eastern Australia it most probably is), which is a brownish-green colour with black spots and around 28cm long, then so far as I've read about them, they don't harm cats. Though from personal experience I know that with my skink-loving kitten he was sick for about 3 days from what we suspect to basically be a skink overdose. Though it seems to be pretty normal for cats and dogs to eat/attack them. I hope that helps :)

How do you tell a boy blue tailed skink from a girl blue tailed skink?

The same with all skinks you cannot really tell there sex apart. If you have a blue tailed skink and you really want to know what sex is you can take it to the vet and they will x-ray it. You don't really need to know the sex unless your planning on breeding it. Its not worth the hassle for such a small little lizard. Hope this answers your question :))
