Hi, I have two Harmann tortoises, which are believed to be around ten years old, due to their size, and I've had them for nearly six years.
Recently I took them to be sexed, but no one has been able to give me a definite answer. Looking at everything on the internet, they both have large tails, they both have shells, which twist under at the ends, hinting that they are both male. However, one of them laid eggs last year. They both take it turns to mount each other, and occasionally, they will bite each other's legs. If anyone can help, I'd be extremely grateful, as no one seems to know!
Pictures are below...
Mildred, who we believed to be the possible female, she is slightly larger
Ernie, who we believed to be the male, slightly smaller.
Thanks!
