Hellooo.
Yesterday I collected two tortoises from a very lovely girl. She had been sold these by someone who obviously hadnt a clue. She was given very little information and she has done her best for them. One has MBD but is still lively and eating but looks a mess. The other isnt so bad but not looking too wonderful. The larger one is definately a male. The other, the better of the two, Im not sure. It has a concave plastron but NO horny tip to its tail but was butting and mounting the other. They are Hermans, the male approximately 6 years old, the male/female approximately 4 years old. I measure the lil tortoise and its plastron is 5 inches. Anyone any ideas please. Many Thanks.

Would you be able to take a picture looking straight down on the plastron? Based on that picture I would say male because that is quite a big tail.

I agree, looks like a male.
