Plastron question

[Dc92]

Hi. I have attached a picture of my tortoises plastron. I have a very fussy tortoise and am
Always worrying I don’t look after them properly (big debate in my house over it being a girl or a boy!).There is some faint black marks at the top and bottom of my tortoise’s underside and some red around outside. My question is do these black marks look normal (the fainter ones at the top and bottom)? I have shown the shell as well in case anyone wants to see this. Thanks!

My guess is a girl.

The reddish and faint black marks look pretty normal to me. The tail looks like that of a female.

Thank you for confirming, my mum will be very disappointed Halloumi is not a boy!
