"Best guess" sexing on juvie

[Kristina]

What are your opinions???

I am leaning towards male (which would explain the little scrapper trying to take on a male twice it's size, lol.) I originally thought female but it is really changing.

I would have to say that you might have a little boy.

Well, at this point it still looks like a female although it is still rather small to even guess on. Thats the problem with trying to sex juvenile tortoises, they all look like females--- until the time that the males suddenly look like males.
Behavior might be an indicator but then I have had some young females that shoved everybody else around as if they were Lucy from the Peanuts comic strip.

My guess would be male.. (like i said Guess) based on the tale and shutes

Are those two different torts? First looks like a girl, but the second a boy. It could be the angle...

My 2 cents it's a boy, but only time will tell

Nope, same kid I angled the camera slightly in the shots.

This is the one that was dropped of with me a few months ago. About three years old, lived its whole life in a 10 gallon fed pellets with no humidity. Very heavily pyramided, but very happy now and growing like a weed!

I have to tell you that it is absolutely wonderful that you rescued the poor fellow, its mind boggling how someone could take such bad care of such a great animal. Good Job! I can see how you would lean toward female, but i have to say it looks like it will more than likely be male!

Looking like a female to me Kristina.

Okay well I will keep calling her "she" lol. I thought she looked female when I got her, but she just looked like she might be um, growing some hair on her chin or something, lol.
