Hi I am new to the forum but I have been keeping tortoises for a few years somehow never found this wonderful site before wished I knew this earlier
Anyhow I just picked up 2 golden greeks from petsmart and am hoping to have a pair. I need expert opinion because after looking at quite a few tortoises in several stores I am still not confident about the differences between males and females in Greek. To me, none of the Greek torts have really long tails and most of them have various degree of concaveness in the plastron.
I am afraid I actually have 2 girls because most of them appear females to me!
Thank you for your input!!!
