Hello my name is Walter and I am excited to meet you all!

I own a 7 year old redfoot and hope to learn a lot from you all.

I live in Tampa, Florida and do need help.

Is my baby a boy or a girl!?? I eventually want to start breeding and knowing his/her sex is quite important. I think its a boy. What do the experts think?

Hi Walter and welcome to the Forum!!

I'm not good at telling the gender of RF tortoises, so I won't even try. :p

Welcome to the forum Walter, I just got my first tort, and It's a redfoot about the size of yours. Wish I could help with the sexing, but I'm way too new. There is a great wealth of info here, and I know someone will be able to tell you for sure soon. Hope to see more pictures and to hear from you often on here.

Hello and welcome..no one has given you an answer yet? It would help if I could get a better shot of the tail. Looks more male

Welcome Walter. This what I recommend you do. Take a photo of him sideways, and a close up of his tail. That way someone may chime in and tell you what they think. Also, keep a closer eye on him. Sometimes, I hear males will flash you and you'll know then for sure. Also, there may be a thread (posting) that may give you hints on how to determine the sex of your redfoot since he is 7 years old. But, from just that one pic, I agree with Charmaine, it looks like a male.
