I've had my beautiful Russian for almost 2 months now. I was told he was a boy but I want confirmation.
Also I was never told his age, is there a way of finding this out?
Thank you!![TURTLE][TURTLE]

Looks small, I think its too young at this point to accurately tell you. If I had to guess I'd say female, but I think you may need to wait a few years to know for sure.

Still too young. All of them look female at this point. Then as they grow so does their tail. Longer and longer for males or it stays short for females.

Thanks guys. I was told he/she is under a year old. Guessing that's pretty accurate then?

I have an adult so I know he's a male; as for the age, you could take your little cutie to a reptile vet. :) The vet had to guess on the age of my little Steve.

Was told he/she was a little boy! May have to get used to saying she rather than he![WHITE SMILING FACE]️
