5 year old Star - female?

[Ansh]

Hi. I'm thinking of getting another star to add to the pair that I already have. I believe keeping tortoises in pairs isn't a great idea and I'm hoping that adding another one will change the dynamic with bullying etc. I've found a 5- year old star for sale and would really like your opinion on whether this is a girl?









Also, would there be a problem keeping a 5 year old with 2 10-month old juveniles?

Thanks!

I'm not the best at sexing, but I would say its a female. As for keeping it with your others, what is the size difference?

My little ones are 7-8 cm and this one is 17cm.

I think the size difference is too much.

Need a few more opinions on whether male or female! Would really appreciate your help. Thanks Wellington for your input.

Female for sure.

Female for sure.

Agreed. Definitely a female. I would not put the little guys with your big ones though.
