Russian tortoises (Testudo Horsfieldii) are one of the easiest species to distinguish male from female. Does your tortoise have a really big fat tail? Male.
Hi Connor:
You hit the "report" button instead of the "post reply" button.
Folks, Connor said that his tortoise has a long skinny tail, does that make it female?
No, Connor...if the tail is long, its probably male. Females have little stubby tails.
