Paging Juvenile Cherryhead Sexing Experts!

[Bryan]

I was wondering if anyone could confidently predict the sexes on these 2 torts? The first is about 5 1/4" SCL and the 2nd is about 4 3/4" SCL.

They usually all look female until they are large enough to sex. But maybe someone will venture to guess.

Thanks, I was hoping to get some of the more experienced breeders/keepers to chime in since they've seen more animals over the years than someone like I have and likely would have a better guess than mine.

Not even a coin flip? Damn!

Thanks JD, I'm hoping that #2 ends up being a girl and I'll take that 40% chance over it being a boy for sure at this point!

I figured that I'd bump this thread since it's about ready to fall off the first page. I'd love to hear more opinions!

Bryan,

I'm with Chris, it is too soon. Frustrating for sure, but they are looking female with longer tails that may continue growing until you have a little boy. Sorry.

Thanks a lot Allegra, I know that some people with a wealth of experience are more comfortable taking guesses than newer keepers like myself are but both have some growing to do before it's 100% one way of another. So far I've heard from a number of people that I respect and they are all pretty much saying the same thing. I am really hoping that it's a couple of girls but if it's 1:1 that'd still beat 2:0!
