Squirtle, has been called a Boy for nearly 5 years. .

Hello again everyone!
It has honestly been ages since I have posted on this forum.
Since around 2013 in fact when My Little Greek tortoise, Squirtle was still a very, very small tort.
If you can tell from my old avatar.
Turrning, 5 in October, I have always referred and believed for him to be MALE, however there are some things that cannot be avoided.
He or She is now 8 inches long by 7 and 1/2 inches wide
I always believed the concave plaster that can bee seen on one of these photos confirmed he was a male, but Squirtle also has a very short tail so once again I am confuzzled.
If I can get some assistance maybe after 5 years I will have to start calling Squirtle She along with confirmation that this is a Greek tortoise for certain.
Thank you all so much! It is good to be back!

I am not an expert but I think because the cloaca is near the tip of the tail that would indicate male. Your Squirtle has a very pretty shell.

Thank you very much! Tried to keep up with humidity for shell growth but Squirtle grew so quickly! Lol
