I have a 1.5 year old radiata that is 4.5" long and weighs close to 200 grams.

Most times, radiated tortoises can't be accurately sexed until aroun 10" sometimes 12". They are a difficult species to sex especially at an early age.

Fron the very pointed downwards scutes, very short stubby tail and flat plastron.
Well in that case I hope my guess is right, thanks anyway.gummybearpoop said:samstar said:gummybearpoop said:On your signature you wrote your radiated is a female. How do you know this? Did you have an endoscopy done?

Interesting, but I would have to say it is inaccurate due to the age of the animal....though it could be a lucky guess....you have 50% odds. You have a gorgeous animal regardless. Hope it thrives for you
