Expert opinion on our tortoises' sex

[Niffer10]

Please could you have a go at sexing our tortoise we thought he was a little boy but on another thread people have said it looks like a girl but may be too young to tell! Someone said an expert may know thank you

I'll give it a go it has a small tail so it could be a girl but it is still young so it could be a boy but I will say female

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Looks like a possible female to me.

 

[jeffbens0n]

Probably a little small to tell for sure but at this point I agree it is looking female.

Looks much like my female Russian.

What a pickle if he is a girl Darwin isnt such a suitable name lol. How old do you think he is? She is!? Poor little mite, if it is a girl then everything we were told about him has been wrong except he likes dandelions!

 

[Starjelly]

Pretty sure it's a girl. The males tales are much larger but he(she) is young and that makes it difficult to tell.

 

[ALDABRAMAN]

Not such a bad thing, her shell looks good from the bottom.

I think we've decided to change name to dotty now we think she's female! Females get a bit bigger dont they? That's good news was wondering if her shells healthy

From that pic she looks female, could you do a side pic of the tail?

 

[Niffer10]

I'll get another pic when I get home, been calling her dotty darwin today lol, don't want her to get a gender complex!!

 

[Niffer10]

more tail pics!! sorry some are bad quality, too much flash or a bit blurred!

 

[Mao Senpai]

Hmm... I am going to vote female

 

[bikerchicspain]

I am not entirely sure, I am 50/50 at the moment,

Ooh interesting, I know it's silly but he was our little man! I obviously would adore it the same if it ended up being a Dotty, but I think it will take us a while to get used to it!
How old do you think DottyDarwin is? We were told two years :S
Been quite quiet today too, just been hiding in their log, hope they're ok! Just seems a bit quieter than normal.
