RE: Fully Grown Female Sulcata Tortoise for Sale
I'm a little confused...Cory: Is the picture you've put up of the same tortoise that the OP is selling? And why did YOU post this picture?
Ok, I'm probably way off base here, however, I had Dudley and a female (a year older than Dudley) here at the same time, so I was able to lay them both on their back and get a good visual comparison between the male/female sulcata form. She had laid eggs, and was proven female. The anal scutes on the male were in a definite "V" shape, while on the female, they were in a soft "U" shape. And look at Dudley's gular:
Its longer than that of the OP's tortoise, and has an upward curve, great for tipping over an opponent.
I really hate to disagree with Danny, because he knows his stuff...however, I have to say, I believe Edward is female.
