Gender???

So, I got my Russian tortoise in July of 2015. I was told by the pet store that he was a boy. I named him puck, and we've been doing great. However, i noticed that he's never "flashed" me. Do make tortoises never "flash", or is he a girl? I have some pictures for reference.

Looks like a dude... but he's too young to be sure. That's probably why he hasn't "flashed" you yet, he's still too little.

By the way, he's SUPER cute!!!!

not all males flash I've had several tortoises for decades now that are male and I never flashed me. Not that I'm complaining mind you

A very warm welcome to the forum!

I think your tort is too young to tell if it's a male or a female.

Any pics of his/her enclosure?

I think it's a male because of the way it's long and tucks to the side.

It's too small and the tail really isn't that long.

I have females that also tuck their tail at times
