A major problem with my tortoise (pink colored organ came out))

[Tactical Tort]

Mine started at just shy of a year and a half.

You have a dude there!! Slash was the same. Originally called Peaches, I got a flash one day and that was it...he's now a MAN!! He flashed me yesterday whilst peeing in his water, then left it out for a while in the water....guess he just liked the feeling of water in his man-parts.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Frankie do that. I'm glad I know though. Otherwise probably would have scared me

Well now I have a question. Mr.T flashed me and I assumed it was a boy, BUT it looked like a pink pencil, meaning it came to a point at the end, did not have that extra flared looking part at the end of it, could Mr. T be a girl?

 

[Tactical Tort]

Mine started like that. The more he flashes the more flare I've been seeing.

Please if you know how to prevent. Please tell me before it gets worse like the video you uploaded . And remember sadly where I live there aren't any vets which know about them!!!

If you have a male tortoise, what you saw in the video is completely normal tortoise sexual behaviour. It cannot and should not be prevented.

Good question, Kim. How big is Mr T?

Last I checked him, maybe 2 months ago he was 550 grams and 5-1/4 inches. He is a golden greek, almost 4 years old

That is his penis. It is normal for them to do that. You have nothing to worry about unless it doesn't retract. It is most common for them to do that while excreting or during their soaks.

Sorry for the delay. I'd say Mr T is a mister.

Wow! Tortoise penises are crazy-looking.

 

[mike taylor]

[Yellow Turtle01]

They are shy

I never even knew torts/turtles could do such a thing haha! (only if they want too! ) Just going off claws/shell/tail for sexing is good enough for me, though... To be honest that would freak me out

Lol! I didn't either until I started reading on this forum.
My torts to young/small to actually sex but when he flashed me that settled that! It caught me off guard but I knew instantly he was a boy.
I work in livestock and specialize in reproduction. It's common for me to see "flashing" all the time Now even by my tortoise! lol!

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

Haha, he wanted you to know he was a boy!

 

[Tactical Tort]

Haha, he wanted you to know he was a boy!

Because I kept calling him a girl! And he had a girl name! A year and a half of that and he was done!

 

[Yellow Turtle01]

Hahaha! Oops Man, how embarrassing he must have been SO fed up with that
