"My, what a long tail you have", said Little Yvonne Riding Hood.
"The better to confuse you with", said Leonard, the abberant-scute, incubated-for-female leopard tortoise.:)
I think I understand. I still have the little Cherryhead you gave me a few years ago, I find it to be a great little creature. It's grown well, but is still too small for me to sex definitively yet, at 6". I couldn't bring myself to let it go when I moved my female redfoots last month. It has...
Ed, I'm sorry to read of your change of plans, but so life goes. We try to set our direction, but life steers the course. I wish I had known of your intentions as I just rehomed my two nice females last month in order to focus on my leopards a little more. I would have been pleased to pass...
Despite the pic of some doodads sticking out? @Yvonne said it's "definitely a penis".
@wellington, yes, a leopard. And heavily pyramided, so definitely a dryer start.
On a similar note, what is the recourse when a purchased animal turns out to be the wrong gender? I did not set any...
Thanks Neal, have a look at what I just responded to Byron, if you would, and maybe a second look at the "flash" pic. I agree with you wholeheartedly, I bought this tort for that exact reason.

I can't find it under any of the above names on The Tortoise Table app, but I know it as dollar weed. It grows in some of the wetter places in my yard, and my torts have been eating it for years. In fact, I can barely find any at the moment because they get to it early. Just my experience...
Ugh. Looks like my flat-plastroned, tiny-tailed female (10 1/2", 4 y/o) just showed me a bit of her man junk the other day. I've read threads where it is suggested that females also flash, but I find no pictures of such. Any chance this isn't exactly what I think it it is? I'm really hoping some...
Are you saying that Karoo and Addo are 1 yr 8 mo old?? You must live near a power plant! Heavy, excellent growth. Addo is a confusing one, but I'm going with female. The tail looks like it's heading male, but could still go the other way. Her shell, though, is very round and heavy in the...
