Boy or Girl ?

I Call "Her" Beauty.

Can't see her tail good enough but definitely a girl by her ventral scutes.

She wasn't very happy with me flipping her over so shes all tucked into her shell. Thank you. Im really glad I don't have to change her name because she is my beauty!

 

[tortadise]

Yeah they don't like being flipped over very much. The last time I tried flipping my female sulcata over I pulled a muscle and I'm not a small man. She weighed 118 pounds about 4 months ago. So she's a biggen.

 

[MistyChee']

Oh my goodness! I can't wait for her to get that big. She's such a gentle girl and will be such a gentle giant.

Looks good

It won't take long. My big girl is only 13. But she does have about 1/4" pen and lots of Texas sunshine.

I can't say for sure with out seeing the tail, the anal scutes can sometimes trick you. If you look at my male, his anal scutes curve in some and his plastron is almost flat. But he has flashed me on more than one occasion and that was how I knew for sure he was a male.

Forgive me for asking but- when he flashed you, what did you see. I've looked at the links of the long flower things. A friend that I know in town says her guy looks like a mini soda can but has never seen the flower thing... Leaves a rather big mess behind. I ask with such gross detail because we are still trying to figure Willie/ willamena out and last weekend he kept stopping and doing a little dance. Front legs straight head held high and back end doing the rumba- looking at eye level in the grass a very round rather wide looking pipe came down with not urinate left behind.. Just wondering and yes he did it about 6 times and my husband and I would rush over and lay on the grass to see what was going on ( tort single porn- I guess). When he first did it I thought he was stuck on something... I need to repost pictures but just have not had the time or guts to flip him again, he really doesn't like that....
