In most cases it does, but it's not always an indicator. We have several members on here who have females with concaved plastrons.

Yup, usually a male trait--along with a pronounced gular horn and chin glands...

As dmarcus shared, a concave plastron alone does not always mean male...:D

My understanding, is that the shell generally concaves, particularly, more profoundly with males that have been or are breeders. Correct, or way off??
