Yes. In this type of tortoise the males get larger than the females.Wondering if male wil be bigger than female once an adult?
I'm not an expert at sexing but I think it's still to small to tell. Most of the keepers here in the U.S. are asleep and will be able to give their opinions in a few hours.4+ years old 18cm. Do u think is female or male ? the big one same age 30cm it's female (flat plastron) or sulcata tortoise different ? View attachment 226828View attachment 226833

Your zip code is New York. I'd love to see where you house these giants in winter? Also, Sulcatas haven't been imported that long, so I'm wondering how you know they're 40 years old? Just curious.My father grows rare Japanese fruit trees. He is family friends with the local Japanese markets and they give him day-old produce in exchange 4 the rare fruit he grows..they eat a ton!
Well, they are my father's.he lives in California. I live in NY. Actually he corrected me and they are almost 30 years old not 40 they were babies when I was in 6th grade that's how I know because he's raised them my whole lifeYour zip code is New York.

So cal mid 1980sAt that age, they would have been some of the first CB babies available for sale here in CA. Now I'm curious too. What part of CA were these purchased from? I wonder if they were from the same batches as my first ones?
No they should be fine. Just keep a close eye and watch for compatibilityMy two of sulcata was separated house together... another two of rad house together which is one pair since 3 year's, do u think I need to separate two of them would be better ?
