Hope everyone is doing well. Meet my newest member, Speedy. I know it’s way too soon to tell (I think), but was sold to me as a temp sexed female, by the breeder. Can any of you experienced superstars tell me if she does look female? Thanks again for this wonderful place.

Way too young to tell, sorry. Wait until the tortoise has grown about 12-14" in size. Temp-sexing is no guarantee, it only increases the chance, but there's still that small chance of having the opposite gender.

You can eliminate the hard water stains by spraying with distilled or rain water after soaks. Distilled and rainwater are not good for soaking or for drinking, but excellent for rinsing and spraying.

Thanks guys. I thought it was too young. I guess it will be another excitement when the sex shows itself. @Tom - thanks for the advice about the distilled water. I was wondering how I could get rid of those stains.

No need to worry cause if you have a boy someday he will show you he is so often you will rue the day you wondered![emoji13]
