I've had mine for about 3 months and according to petco it is 6-9 months old, but they knew nothing.... they sold me a glass aquarium and told me to fill it with rabit pellets! So I don't trust their judgement.... they also didn't know the gender.
RE: How do you tell the age and sex of your Russian?
Post some pics of the tail and we'll be able to let you know. What size is he? They say you can't be absolutely sure until they're at least 5" long, but I've had a few males who were "obvious" at a much smaller size.
RE: How do you tell the age and sex of your Russian?
Id say its a male but dont bank on my statement as I have a REALLY bad track record with sexin the torts lol. I got a 50/50 chance...you'd think my luck would be getting better lol.
No one can ( as T-P mentioned) tell you exact age but your tort is over 2..IMO . He looks to be an adult.

Out of all the things I've lost...I miss my mind the most.
RE: How do you tell the age and sex of your Russian?
It's hard to tell from t hose pictures... if you could get a clear close up of that tail, that'd help! He sure is a round thing, though, isn't he?! LOL! And I agree with Tracy that he is an adult... if he's a male, that is... he will only grow a little bit more, maybe half an inch or so. If he's female then there's could be a lot of growing ahead.
