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 :cool:

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!!!

Sorry but I don't know why. The pictures were all there when I previewed the posting. But I have confirmed they are both boys and have taken them back. Thank you for those who wanted to help anyway!

BTW, I think because my posting required moderation, so I suspected somehow the pictures were broken after the posting was moderated. The search in a particular forum also seems to be broken and never worked for me. The same happens in the iOS app.

Gotcha, that makes sense. I think once you've posted 10 times with moderation, you will be cleared to post the regular (unmoderated) way... So maybe you can just leave some thoughtful comments on other posts, and then come back here and try again to post with pics. :)
Welcome, by the way!
