Who wants to hazard a guess? I'm thinking female. Squirt is at least 4 years old per her original owner. 7in shell, 2.5lbs. Flat plastron. Ugly little bug eyed tort. :p

Now that would have been a good Halloween picture for the calendar! Lots of red gore :D

It appears that all of my photos of her have food plastered all over her face. She's camera shy otherwise.

I was thinking this is a very immature male.
I know the tail looks small but it is the shape of a males. The concave plastron wouldn't be there at that size anyway and the anal scutes seem to be opening very wide.
Probably wrong, look forward to seeing what happens.

I hope you're wrong, we already have two horny males grunting and mounting everything in sight!

Squirt would say thank you for the compliment, but she's a tortoise of few words and many nose whistles due to her tiny nostrils.

@Anyfoot - Ready to claim your bragging rights? IT'S A BOY! F#$%^! I was really counting on Squirt being female to keep the M:F Ratio and 1:2. Now I have 3 boys, 2 girls and a TBD who was incubated to hopefully be female.

I just told HIM that he is grounded indefinitely.

She posted this in Pretend Chat ... the answer is yes
Guys.....my 2nd smallest tortoise just decided to show me his manhood. I'm not amused. He and his brother were given to me as incubated females. Crap. Now we have a 1:1 ratio in the herd. If you suggest more females I have a feeling my boyfriend will find you and break your fingers so you can't type such suggestions to me again.

That was meant for the chat thread, but...snow!
Also, @Anyfoot, I've decided that your prize is an immature male redfoot with a pug nose. Come get him, haha.

I may just do that, we haven't got any snow:(.

Ours usually melts in a day. We are in a well protected valley that doesn't see much fun weather. Just bring a CONFIRMED female RF and I'll welcome you into the house. I'm making lasagna. :p
