Based on these photos can you tell me the sex of my CDT's? They are both 7/8 years old this fall.

I can't tell yet. The first one has a bit of a short tail, but I can't see the gulars and the plastron looks like its getting a little concave, so mixed signals on that one.

I can't see the tail or anal scutes on the second pic very well, but those gulars ar looking pretty long and well developed, so possibly male.

I can't call either one with any certainty from the two pics.

And… Hi Murray!!!

Hi Tom!

It's been way too long since I've shared my tortoise life. Moved to a new home and will be treating all new enclosures soon.
