Can anyone please tell me if these are male or female. I have a male and female already and want more but I don’t want another male. So I would like to double check before I buy them.

Thanks

Martyn

I also agree with that! Both look female to me as well. Can usually tell by the round cloaca.

The person I’m buying them from is unsure. They said they are around 10cm so I’m guessing fairly young.

You would know if you had a male. The tail is grossly big!

Yeah I have a male and the tail is much bigger. I just wasn’t sure if it was different in younger tortoises
