hi guys!
I have these two amazing torts, they are a year old now and are so energetic! Literally run everywhere they go

I can't seem to work it if they are male or female, I think Franklin (first two photos) is a male and esiotrot (second two photos) is a female, could someone please tell me if they can if I'm correct, they are almost 2 years old now :)
I have added some photos :)
Thank you!IMG_1849.JPG IMG_1850.JPG IMG_1851.JPG IMG_1852.JPG

Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

I think they're still too small to be able to know for sure.

The tortoise is too small to tell. Marginated tortoises are particularly difficult to sex until they are much larger.

Having the same issue with my three. All tails look very similar and I've done a bit research and unless the male shows his stuff you won't be able to tell until they are around 6 inches. Mine were temp sex for female and one is diffidently a male. Nice looking tort.
