Hey everyone I have a spring 2016 hatchling. She (I'm thinking) is almost a year old now and about 2 inches long. I attached a pic which I'm hoping you can confirm if it is in fact a girl. I know it's still pretty early to know for sure but looking at all the pics others have posted, I'm thinking it's a she.

Thanks

Way to early to tell. I'd wait till s/he's at around 4in and then you might be able to sex him/her

Most baby tortoises look female until they get old enough to start getting sexually mature. Because your baby's cloaca is a slit and not a star, I'm opting for male.

@Grandpa Turtle 144 Could you please post that picture that shows the tails?
