Female.

(I am probably wrong )

 

[Eweezyfosheezy]

that is what I am thinking as well but I was told it is a male

 

[Kristina]

On another thread Danny said that the line between the femoral and anal scutes on a male is generally straight. On a female, there is a dip. That is what this one looks like to me, and that is why I said female (thanks Danny, I really do retain info )

So, now we just need Danny to confirm, lol.

my first thought was male.. Oh Danny Boy... where are you?!

 

[Eweezyfosheezy]

thanks a lot hopefully someone knows without a doubt whether its a male or female.

I would be hard put to guess female, and would like a slightly different shot of the plastron; more angled from the side (not full side but maybe 45*) - the straight on shot is difficult to see if the plastron is straight or has a curve to it.

congrats on your tort.
and if a female

ANOTHER GIRL FOR ARIZONA!!!!!!

let me know if you think its still a female with this shot?

Young male, but a photo from the rear with 4 on the floor would seal the deal. Everybody says Female because the femoral scutes have the shape, but alot of young males carry their tail to the side like that. Based on the tail Id say male, based on the scutes female.

Take another photo of it walking away from the rear. It could be a girl and just scared because you flipped it over? Id tuck my genitals too if someone rolled me over.

the person i might buy it from says that it is a male and has a slight concave plastron and they say they will give me no more pics and they only gave me two pics and they were both taken with the tortoise on its back.

I was thinking male also.

Is it me or your sulcata seems pretty darn well fed if you know what I mean?

dan can you check my other picture now and are you sure its a female with the other picture to help identify if it is a male or female.
