Soo, I was soaking my 2.5 year old russian tortoise, who I had been told where I bought her that he was around 75% sure she was female. She was a little dirty so sometimes i give her clean with a soft brush, while I was cleaning the plastron she was struggling a bit as she doesn't really enjoy being cleaned, and all of a sudden something that looked very much like a willy came out of her tail.

So I'm guessing 'she' is a boy???
Or could this be some kind of parasite? As I'm worried it might be that. :\

Without seeing an actual picture, I am almost positive what you saw was your male flashing you with his penis. As long as it goes back in, there is nothing to worry about.

Did it look like maybe a smaller version of this...

His enclosure is all pink on the outside with flowers, hearts, diamantes etc.. I'm thinking we may need to makeover the enclosure too!!

It would, indeed, be the KIND thing to do...maybe a WWF calendar, and a tiny 'fridge w/ tiny beers, so he can get into his "dude-hood". :p

Not that I want to be flashed, but at what age do they usually start to do that. I am really hoping Tatum is a boy. At what age, if he doesn't flash, can I expect that he won't because he is a she:p?

Hard to say, but "teenage" years seem to be the most common. I honestly have only been flashed by a few of my males, so you may never even get flashed. It seems sulcata tend to be the most often to flash, not sure if that is true, just seems you hear it more.
