Took both my Radi's for their annual check up earlier. All went well accept that the male had a chip on the lower part of it's shell where the plastron and carapace meet so the vet prescribed iodine to be put once a day for about a week just to make sure all goes well.

Male-1.15kgs and 7" plastron
Slight concave plastron, more open anal notch and slightly longer gular scutes, stubby tail

Female-1.15kgs and 7.5" plastron
Totally flat plastron, more closed pointed 'v' shape anal notch with hardly developed gular scutes, stubby tail

I know it's a bit early to tell if male or female but I can see where one showing signs of being male, who knows, we'll have to wait till their about 11" just to be sure.

Do their weights sound correct for their size? Boy do they poop a lot when they are stressed so we decided to do a poop test which I will have the results by Monday.
