Based on my source.. possibly F3 or F4 - from 2015 hatchings'.

Sure hoping we're looking at a male and female.. time will tell.

Male??? .. 4.25" SCL



"Dark" plastron



Do I see the 'anal-scute' sign and tail to side already?



Female??? .. 4.5" SCL



"She" is much more yellow.. with that 'nose-pattern'



"Dark" not as full



Comments everyone.. ?

I'm no good at knowing the gender of the redfooted tortoises. In fact, I stink at it.

I'm with Yvonne. If I had to guess L, it would be both males. Pretty ones though. I pulling for you to have a pair

Let's see if I can find another view of "her" ladies! I hope they are both males.. because I have an '08 female that has been here for a year and one that came with these 2 which is a good 5.25" that's really looking female.

"Right-out-of-the-box" .. largest of the 3 that has a split-scute - ( doesn't always mean female .. but usually is ) ..

timed out wrong pic

Love that face! She's very pretty!

Yes Pearly.. my friend raised her.. we traded - I like her because she is almost ( all ) red. [ the light she was under and the flash shows untrue colors ] It seems like "most" of the few in collections these days ; relatively speaking ( which was the object of the True Bolivians post.. nothing else really ) have more orange and yellow...

Outside summer of 2015 -
