At what age can I tell if my RT is a male or female

[Bobo's Dad]

My Bobo is about 7 months old. I am wondering when I will be able to see the gender. If you tell me what pics to post I will take them and put them on here.

Thanks Family

Your tortoise is still too young, they have to be about 5"+to be able to tell, and even then there is only three ways to be sure:
1 he flashes you
2 she lays eggs
3 Endoscopically

Spn785 is right, 7 months is too young to tell, sorry.
At that age they all look female. :/

When he/she gets to be about 5 inches you can easily tell by looking at the size of the tail. Male Russians develop a very large tail when they reach maturity. It'll take a few years before he/she reaches that size. Russians tend to grow slowly.

Also, its not age its size. They all grow at different rates and some show the secondary sexual characteristics sooner or later than others.
