Hi Charlie:

I believe your chart is for the Testudo species of tortoise. I'm not sure, but I THINK Luisa's tortoise is a young sulcata.

Hi Luisa:

Welcome to the Forum!

Your tortoise is not big enough yet to be able to tell the gender. It's looking female right now, but all young tortoises look female.

That's what I thought.., but she's four. She is an African sulcata

Its more about size than age. Some tortoises take longer to tell for sure than others. Your tortoise is very small for four.
