RE: Male or Female

You're just not looking in the right places. Males are way more prevalent than females.

The anal scutes in the last one have an unusual shape, very close together. That could be a problem if she ever tries to lay eggs. Very unique tort you've got there.

What could be done to allow for egg passage on the female with the egg crusher anal scutes?
