sexing

Hello! I have a 1 year old African Sulcata tortoise. I wanted to post her pictures here and see what you all think about her shell. I feel like her scutes are pretty small and the darker parts (I think they’re called sutures?) in between them are thicker than average and cover more of her shell...

Hi guys! i hope posting a new thread specifically about sexing my red footed tortoise is allowed! I just got them yesterday and want to know sex before naming. Since they'll be around for a long time I want the name to be perfect. Also if you could help with age estimation, the ring counting...

I was curious of my yearling stinkpot musk turtle gender. I tried to find forums and figure it out but I’m totally stumped on how to sex them. Any ideas on if mine is a male or female? Thanks!

Hello! I’ve been told I have a female sulcata and was hoping someone else can confirm this! My baby will turn 4 in April! Thanks!

My Russian tortoise (Sherman) is a round 3.5 years old and 4-5 inches long. Any types on finding out its gender? I’ve added some photos as well if any one can help :)

I was giving Sunshine (Russian Tortoise) a soak the other day and put her little tub on her usual basking spot so she could soak and enjoy the "sun" at the same time. I know that soaking can help with shedding and excreting waste. In other words, I'm used to her defecating and urinating in her...

Hi would really appreciate everyone’s thoughts on my spur thighed tortoise. We thought she was female. But now not sure. She shows male behaviour towards my other female spur thighed (confirmed female by vet) and the tail is longer/ sits to the side compared to my female who has a short tail...

Hello! My family just adopted these two Hermanns and I’m determined to sex them before naming them. Any ideas on their sexes? Thanks!

Hi! Just rescued this Russian tortoise and I can’t seem to identify if it’s a male/female as well as the age?? The place I rescued it from said it was about 2 years old... but the tortoise seems way older and bigger. Any help on the sex and age of this little one?

Hey guys! This is Alfredo. When we got this little guy, we were told by the breeders that it's likely a male because his tail length was on the longer side in this specific clutch, but, now that four years have passed, we genuinely have no idea as to whether or not Alfredo is male or female.

Hello my name is Alissa and I have 2 beautiful, 5 year old Marginated Tortoises Elvis and Elsa. Before purchasing them I built my own tortoises table and did intense research so I could be prepared for anything. The only thing I am unable to identify is the difference between Female and Male...

Hi all, Ive just recently acquired an 11cm Cheeryhead, im trying to determine if its a male or a female? I know its probably too small to determine, but i think its a female. What do you all think? Thanks

Hello, I just bought another tortoise. I’m curious of the sex. I have a thought of what it could be, but I’m curious to know if I’m correct. Could anyone confirm? It is a red foot. Thank you!

Hi, I have had 4 Egyptians for 3 and a bit years and just wondered if anyone could assist with sexing them. I know they are still relatively young but they were about a year when I got them so I think they’re coming up to an age that I should be able to start determining it. Any advice...

I need help sexing these tortoises.....I took quick pics, but was unable to get tail pics yet. Any guesses based on these pics? Thanks in advance. A is a yellowfoot, all the rest are redfoots. Also....D's tail seems to have a bend in it. Is that okay....or is it a problem of some sort?

Hello. I've had my tortoise about 8 years but I think she (maybe he) is about 11ish, we got her from a family friend as they were moving away. I think she is as she but I can't seem to find anything online that's clear enough to confirm so I thought I'd ask for some opinions! Attached is a...

Well, I took Willard (1.5 year old marginated) in to the tort expert to see if he was a Mrs. or a Mr. The guy said with all certainty that he was a she. He showed me her tail and how short it is and the distance from here to there, so on and so forth. She also doesn't have a big indentation...

Hi guys, Can you please help me identify (if already possible, of course) the sex from my cherry-head? She/he is already about 4 1/2 years old. Any insight is much appreciated! Greetings from Brazil, Marcello.

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...
