hi can anyone please help with the sex of my 4 year old horse field. Thanks in advance
Thank you so much, that’s what I was hopingI'm still learning, but I think you got a girl.
Wait for some other more experienced keepers to confirm though. Like I said I'm still learning, but male Russians usually have giant tails.Thank you so much, that’s what I was hoping
Speaking of wild caught, I am wondering if urs is cb or wc. If you purchased it from a reptile show, pet store, or criegs list and was told that it is 4 years old, they are probably lying. Most Russians in the pet trade today are wc, and it is impossible to tell the age of a wild caught tortoise. There are subtle signs between a 5 year old tortoise and 50 year old tortoise. Any where in between there is a guess. Could be 4, could be 14, no way to tell. I am only asking because if you don't know the sex of the tortoise, you either raised it from a hatchling,aquired it from someone who raised it from a hatchling, or got it from a uneducated owner who didn't know the sex and lied about the age.
