Do you go by the tail or shell?
I just got another full grown russian in and he is a positive male (suppose to be a female) but there is no mistaking. He has a very long tail and his shell is sunk in underneath.
When I look at my other male who has a medium tail his belly of his shell is rounded out like my females??
What do you go by?
Thanks
Here are some pictures to help. We had established that tinkerbell is a female and peter pan was male. Now that I have this older male there are definite differences mainly in the underside of the shell.
Here is Mater the new guy who was suppose to be a girl but I am 100% on him that its a male.
Here is pan who does not have the sunken in shell under his belly like the male above. He also has a different shape to his shell around the back legs. It kinda flares up and does not curve rounded like the other two.
Here is where you can see his shell curves up instead of down??
Here is Tink (my original russian I have owned the longest)
The three of them from left to right

Sorry for all the pics. I am just trying to figure out if I have a trio or 2 boys or ???
