Can somebody tell me for sure what sex this tortoise is? Looks and acts female to me but there may be a very very small concave. More like its anal scutes just stick out a little which makes it appear to have a concave. You tell me!

Probably a male, but its hard to tell because my computer stretches the picture when it opens and is not giving me a good look at him. Is the tail big or little. Females have pretty small little tails.

It does appear to be a male, but the tail length looks short too me which would be more like a females tail. However, I can't see where the tail actually ends.

That is a male. Do we get to see the rest of him?
