They are kind of small still - the largest in just over 6 inches and the other two about 5. I'm hoping for two females though - so I guess I'll have to wait and see.
My thought too was
1 - F
2 - M
3 - F
but 2 is not that clear of a picture!!!

1 Male
2 Female
3 Male

They are still too small to accurately sex but they all look like females to me.
The middle one has a longish tail but the anal scutes scream female.
Two of my adult females have very long tails for their sex.

I mean #2 looks more male type ... but hard to judge ... and as tom stated they like to fool ya .. but in my opinion .. at 6 inches you should be able to tell! ...N2TORTS said:
I mean after all .. there dwarfs??? RIGHT ????? HA HA HA ,, such a bunch of BS ... All this crazy who has what rights to call what is a TRUE cherry is such a bunch of DOO DOO ... you read and get different views ... in my honest opinion .. its a marketing scheme and bragging rights!... Yea .. I own 7 and honest just got into them about 7 years ago ( cherrys that is ) ... its just wild to see all the opinions .. but granted .. I think thats how we all learn!....
My bad I thought they were all the same tortoise
Just to clarify what CD May and Terry mean by the anal scutes for any newbies drifting through-
The last two scutes on the plastron are the anal scutes. The opening between them forms an angle over the tail, and if the angle is about a 90 degree angle, it suggests that the tortoise is a female. Males tend to me more of a 180 degree angle, much wider or more open.
There is also the 'anal scute gap' which is the opening between the points of the anal scutes and the marginals. A big gap suggests male, a gap too small for the tail to swing in it suggests a female.
All of Kimber Lee's photos seem to show the 90 degree angle and a small gap.
