sexing3way.jpgcolombianssexing.jpgAttached are a couple plastron lineups...One is my two Colombians, the other is the same two torts, with another non-descrip Northern. They are rather small to sex, approx 4 inches, but I was hoping that some of you who have raised hatchlings up to sexable size may have some preliminary inputs on these guys.
Thanks!

That's a tough one. Possible female on top, possible female in middle an possible male on bottom. I judged by the tails. The ventral scutes show as a possible 2.1 but still hard to be certain. I'd say you will at least have a 1.1 in that lovely group.

Kinda young to tell. But if I were to guess based on my observations.

1st from left - Female
2nd from left - Female
3rd from left - Male
