Sex of Sulcata

[ecachuh]

I wouldn't. They could do more harm than good even though they say exotic vet, doesn't mean they know tortoises
Soak her daily for a couple weeks. Have camera ready to snap a pic next time it happens.

Ok I got some video clips of her prolapse or whatever poking out like you asked! It's 2 separate clips in one.

When I was looking up prolapse, it looked more red. This looks more pink.

You think sex was confusing due to her shell issues? Not growing how she should...

Maybe she's both!

Yeah we are going back and forth....She has no other male attributes (I mean idk and I guess the male part would be the deal breaker) lol. Like I said I'd rather Her be a He then have a prolapse. Poor girl/boy... 🤷‍♀️

Yes. I think he is slow to mature because of his past care. The same as my leopard that had all signs of female until he got the right care and she matured and caught up to where she should have been and that's when his maleness showed up.

Prolapse does not go back in.

At the start of this thread, seeing the picture of the anal scutes (looking female) But then seeing where on the tail thecloaca is, I said (to myself) male, because the cloaca is away from the body, not close to the body. Of course, now that we actually see the penis, we can say definitely MALE!

I know I've thought the same thing for quite a while now. To my untrained eye, there were no other obvious signs that I would have know. Can't argue with this though!! He likes to remind me that he's a boy.....a lot

They do that, but he will stop exposing so much after awhile.

🤣 I hope so. In his defense, it's only really when he's pooping or soaking. No shame! haha
