Are they sexed correctly?

Here are some shots of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
If they are sexed correctly then Tink chases Pan and head bobs at him.
This is Peter Pan

This is Tinkerbell

This is there tortoise tushies. Pan is on the right and Tink on the left.

Peter Pan is a male and Tinker Bell could go either way, but I'm leaning more towards male.

Really?? I hope he is a she because he might get a complex with the name Tinkerbell.lol
Even with that big of a difference in there tails? Where can I see pictures of what a female looks like?
I just ordered a female from Kingsnake last night to complete my trio. How do I know for sure if she is a she? Its only 50.00 bucks to throw another female in the box so if that is the case I want to bring in two more females and seperate the males?? I would have to let them know ASAP before they ship.
Thanks!!

hmmmm, I think it looks like a female but I am new to this.
I had both female Russians sent to me just in case. The two new girls arrive tomorrow and I will post pictures of everyone. I only really want 2 females and 1 male. So we will see. I am hoping for 3 girls and 1 boy.

You also need to look at what sub species you have, this link will help you to determine what sub species you have. http://russiantortoise.org/subspecies.htm

hello pan is a male and tink on the left is female.............ed

I would say female for Tinkerbell but she chases Pan head bobbing at least 2 times a day. He just stops and tucks his legs in and hides. The rest of the time they are always together and seem to enjoy each other. I have two females that are arrive by 10:30 this morning and they are guaranteed females. So I will have something to compare her too. She acts like a male but to me looks female but I am still not quite sure what to look for other than tail. I definitely have a lot more home work to do.
