Rescues: Brutus and Stevie Wonder (pics)

[Skyler Nell]

So here they are!!
This is Brutus: He is bigger and more dominant, already mounting the smaller one. He is very outgoing and I love the solid color or his head.

And this is Stevie Wonder: The smaller more docile one. Her vision is pretty poor, from what I can tell she isn't completely blind but doesn't have clear vision. She will require some tlc

It appears neither of them are in perfect health, a little bit of runny nose and watery eyes but they are pretty hearty and heavy so I hope I can make them improve without any baytril or rough drugs. I know both are pretty pyramided but I don't think there is any MBD yet, leg movement is good, and both have the drawing in of the legs reflex still. Ps Can anyone tell the sex of either? I'm hoping I have a male and female pair as they're from different parents! Thanks for reading!

They both look very dry, but in better hands now I'm sure. My guess is female for both but you did say there was some mounting going on. But maybe that's just a dominance thing and it is a female. Are either of their plastrons concave at all? It's hard to tell from the pics bit doesnt look like they are.

I'm not sure, I think Brutus may be slightly concave but that could be wishful thinking But does the * versus l shape cloaca apply to redfoot tortoises??

 

[Skyler Nell]

no guesses??

If they are female I may have a male who would be interested in meeting them. just a thought.
