When I got my Russian, Richard, the previous owner said they male. Since then I've been told by one vet that they thought they might be male but wasn't sure and by another vet that they were female. Based on posts I've seen about sexing tortoises I think they might be male, especially since they're supposedly 15 yo and only about 4.5" (though to be fair I'm not entirely sure when Russians stop growing and I can't really verify that age).
It's not really important to me either way, since I have no plan on breeding or changing their name. I'm just curious now and would like other's opinions. I tried to get a nice picture of the tail but Richard wasn't in the mood to hold still.
