Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to tortoise keeping and have one Russian tortoise which is a little over 1 year old that I got from Carl S.

Welcome! Love your Russian. He looks great.

Hello, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum.
I agree, he looks wonderful.

Thanks, I think it is a she because she was incubated to be female but not positive can you tell from this pic

Hi

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

It looks female, but they all do at this age.
Too early to be sure.

Beautiful Russian! I also have one. Mine is too young to know for sure. The tail looks the same but she/he sometimes carries it to the side like a male. I chose the name Maitai to cover my basis lol!

Wow, you're in Portland Maine? I live in Biddo

 

[Nico7]
