I got these Hermanns back in October and am unsure of the sex. Here are a few pictures of each. Any input would be appreciated.

Hi David:

I'm not familiar with the Hermann's tortoises, but I'm guessing that the ones with the spur on the end of the tail are male and the one without the spur is female.

It looks like you have a young pair my friend. Top being male, bottom being female

First 3 photos are male, last 2 photos are female.
Both sexes have the spurred tail.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate the input. I was leaning in that direction, but was not 100% and my wife wanted other people's opinions. Looks like this is an excuse to pick up another female :)
