I have 4 red footed torti and I've had a lot of different answers over the yrs on sex of them...I'd like to get some more opinions and maybe confirm some suspicions I have
3 are adults all over 10" and 1 is a juvi about 6-7", no major concave plastrons, no pnut shape...I have seen ramming, mounting, clucking, chasing, biting, but no penis has ever been visible and there have never been any eggs in the 3 years that I've had more than 1. Some wag or keep tail straight while walking, others tuck it...I know this sp. (I have 2 cherrys and 2 are yellow headed southerners I think) can be a bit tricky, but at this size it should be fairly clear...
So what do you all think?
