Sexing tortoises

[Peytons torts]

Can anybody tell me if I have males or females thanks

Still a bit too young. Are these Herman's? I'd say 2 years old they should be easily sexable. Still too young and small right now.

They are turning 2 on January 14

They look like females, now, but that might change as they grow a bit.

Young tort always look like girls. I think 2 should be a little early for sexing right now! Do they live together? The left tort looks a lot smaller than the right... he/she may get bullied

what are ways to tell the sex?

Both are certainly looking to be female based on those anal scutes and although it's likely that they are in fact female, this is not set in stone and could change.

Well, usually you look at the tail. Females usually have shorter, stubbier tails than males. You can look at the shell. Sometimes males have concave plastrons (the bottom part bent inwards) also, depending on what tort you have, females are almost ALWAYS larger than males.
There are other species specifics, such as if you have a sulcata, males will generally have larger 'gulars' (the spikes on the front if the bottom of the shell)
What type of tort do you have? How old is the guy?
