He’s only 3 so I know it may still be too early to tell, but I’m intrigued to know if we have a male or female.

Whatever the answer it’ll keep the name Kevin! :laugh:

Might be male; might not. He’s still quite small.

Based on this... male is a possibility.

All tortoises look female with short tails when they’re immature. Kevin does look like he has a slit in his tail though.

You’ll know for certain if he “flashes”. Male tortoise anatomy is a once-seen-never-forgotten experience!

Haha, I look forward to that!
Thank you, I’ll see how he matures.
