Hi Everyone. I am considering getting a second greek as a companion for my little Ari. When "she" first came home, I thought "her" personality was that of a boy. Then I did some research and bought a basic book on tortoises which includes a chapter on gender determination, and from the photos in the book I think my little boy is actually a girl. Below (I hope) I have included photos of Ari from above, from below, and of her "privates" (tail and anal notch). Not the greatest quality, but photography is not a skill I possess. I was not able to take a good side photo of her plastron, but trust me when I say it is totally flat, not curved. Can someone confirm that she is female? If I keep changing how I talk/sing to her (as my little boy/girl) I will need a referral to a tortoise therapist!! And the last thing I need is another generation of tortoises if I should get a second tortoise of the opposite gender!
As a bonus, if anyone can tell me what kind of greek she is from these photos, that would be helpful.
Please let me know if additional photos are needed for either of my questions.
Thanks all!
Best,
Kristina
