We have had this tortoise for a couple years now and this tortoise was 3 1/2 years old when we got it. I am thinking it is 5 1/2 years old and the shell is 8 inches long. I am wondering if it is too early to make a guess on if its a boy or girl but I am thinking it is a girl. Enclosed is some pictures. As you can see the bottom of the shell is not concave at all.

Thanks a million.

Take care,

Looks like a small female tail, however, I'm notoriously bad at sexing the RF and YF tortoises.

I'd say female as well. I've got one of each and my male's tail is WAY longer than that.
