Hello my wife and I just got a Burmese mountain tortoise. My wife loves turtles and tortoises. If not mistaken he is 3 years old. Not sure if it's a male or female.

I'm not from Ohio.
But hello and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and your beautiful tortoise.
Read, learn, contribute and have fun!
Saw a few of these torts when I lived in Thailand.
Lovely.

Welcome to the Forum!

The tortoise is too young to know the sex.

Hold him up and get a pick of his "belly" so we here can sex him for you. And verify if he's a black or brown in case you don't know. I'm not good at sexing but @Yvonne G has a bunch.

It was kind of chosen for us. I have a real good friend that lives in Florida and we we're down visiting them and got talking about how my wife loves turtles. So he said I should get her a tortoise he knew a guy down there that raised them. So that's how we ended up with a Burmese mountain tortoise.

It's 2 years old I'm not sure what it weights but his shell is 4 inches long.
