Took some photos today and you can tell some growth over the past 2 years. If it were not flashing, I would still guess it could be a female but certainly one can also argue the tail looks more like a male. Thoughts? Some statistics about this Rad, it hatched on 1/13/2013 so it is just 3 months...

Hi folks, Reporting back almost 2 years later: it is a male. I first saw him flashed rather quickly early last week and finally caught him drinking water while flashing his male organ for about 2 minutes.

Thank you all. I shall come back to this thread and confirm the result in a year or two hopefully.

I took some additional photos to help with the guessing. Mainly to show the tail. I do think in about 3 or 4 years I will know for sure or if he flashes before that. I also included a photo with another endoscopy female on the right to compare. This big Radiated disguises very well and got me...

Hello, I had this Rads for more than 5 years now. The tortoise is close to 6 years old and weights about 3,975 g and about 10 inches SCL. I know it is difficult to visually sex Rads but wonder if we can give it a try. Hope the following photos provide some hints. Can it be certain a female or...

Thank you, Julie. I was very curious about the dark mass at the bottom of the egg. I once hatched one Russian tortoise and noticed the dark mass at the bottom (much bigger though) that light just cannot get through. I was hoping. But you are absolutely right, none of the 7 eggs this year were...

Here is one of the eggs laid by female #2 who laid her first ever eggs this year. Do you think it is fertile?

I only have one Russian tortoise hatched in the past couple years from 3 females that laid total of 18 eggs. I collected 7 eggs from this year around end of June and early July. So they have been in the incubator for a while (65 to 87 days). The 7 eggs are from 2 females, one laid 5 last year...

Long time ago I had this idea of utilizing the basement's window well as an enclosure idea: it is secure, has direct and indirect sunlight, and is a more controlled environment. I decided to give it a try while the outdoor temp is still all right. It appeared that my Egyptians really enjoyed...

It has been a while since my last post. About time for an update and some photos. First there were 3 new members added to my Egyptian family. They have been under my care for 10 months now. Second I am pretty sure now one of my largest Egyptians is male for his large and long tail. Here are...

I can't say I keep them in constantly humid environment as it's very dry in the area we live. I do soak them every day for about 20 min. And I spray the enclosure once a while when I have chance. I believe keeping them hydrated is very important.

I live in very dry climate here in rocky mountain Colorado. It is really difficult to maintain that level of humidity. I do believe that high humidity level helps hatchlings grow smoothly and avoid pyramiding, I tried soaking them every day, multiple water dishes inside the enclosure, many...

Very nice growth, beautiful.

A week ago got a call back telling me to be more patient as they have not got their order in yet. So after a month being charged on the credit card for the order, I still do not know if and when I will receive the product. Buyers be aware!

I want to post my negative feed back to this online retail store at http://www.carolinapetsupply.com. I have been ordering TNT supplement, tortoise mixed seeds and other products from this store in the past. I made a couple of orders this year and the experience was not very good. First I...
