My 2 years old - is it a boy or a girl?

[MichaelS]

Any guesses on the sex on my Sully...I know there are a lot of these types of threads so what is one more right.

Here the details:

Weight: 4 1/2 pounds

SCL: 8 3/4 inches

Age: 25 months

Name: Kenya for now my have to change it to Ken

The plastron is pretty flat but not 100% there is a slight indentation.

Here are some photos

Very nice

 

[Tom]

Too young to tell yet. Could go either way.

My guess is of course to young to tell. However, my stab in the dark is male.

 

[Merrick]

Very nice

But I have no idea the which sex

 

[Big Charlie]

I found out for Charlie when I thought he had pooped out his intestines! He was much older than that.

So is there a general size or age for Sulcata that I should be able to tell or do I just have to wait for the flash?

 

[MichaelS]

Just to update this thread... Kenya is a boy. He started flashing in his daily soaks and his plastron is becoming concaved.

 

[RayRay]

Did you change your handsome mans name?

 

[MichaelS]

Yeah he is just Ken now .

At his 4th birthday, in July, he was 17.5 inches and 30 lbs. This photos was taken a few weeks ago...not sure his size now. He is hard to take photos of since he just walks right up to my legs every time. I'll have to sneak up on him some time and take one of him a more natural pose. He is supper curious and not aggressive at all. Loves butt scratches and hibiscus flowers. He lives outside full time since he was 2 y.o.
