Does anyone know how to tell the gender of a young red footed tortoise?
Tortoise has to be about 6-8" before you'll be able to tell for sure.Does anyone know how to tell the gender of a young red footed tortoise?
For sure?...Tortoise has to be about 6-8" before you'll be able to tell for sure.
They all look female, until about that size usually. If by about 8" your tort hasn't developed any male characteristics, then you can say it's a female for sure.For sure?...
I just didn't get how you could tell the gender when there that small. Then again, I probably work with larger tortoisesThey all look female, until about that size usually. If by about 8" your tort hasn't developed any male characteristics, then you can say it's a female for sure.
