are they male or female? (chaco tortoises)

[tortoisedna]

Is there someone could tell me they are male or female?
thanks a lot !!!

I am no expert and I don't have any chacos, but if we go by other species short tails usually mean female.

Thank you for your reply. ^^
I just visited some website and gathered some information about chacos.
They are not easy to tell their sex.
Just see the link below,and go back to check my cacos.

They are extremely hard to sex as males tails aren't much longer than females tails. With that said You have 2 females.

I just wanted to comment on the quality of these pictures. It's too bad others looking to ID a tortoise don't take such good shots. Good job!

Hi Tortoisedna:

Welcome to the forum!! Where did you find such rare (in the pet trade) tortoises?

 

[sushisurf13]

I agree with Danny. They look female to me. Great pics by the way.

I bought them from the pet store in my city.
It's very common to see in my country.

So I have to ask, what is this great chaco friendly country you live in? and can you send me some? I am only partly kidding on that last question.
