    Hi all, We’ve recently adopted two rescue tortoises, Fred and Sam. Initially, they seemed to get along fine Fred would occasionally head-butt Sam, but the interactions were brief and did not appear to be aggressive. We thought Sam was a female as she was docile and would burrow and dig. After...

    Males or females marginated

    Hi! I have four marginated tortoises and I'm curious about their sex. I'm still in doubt about if they are male or female. The tortoises on the first two pictures are 7 years old, the last two are around 5,5 years old. Can you tell already? I'm thinking two male and two female.
