Welcome to the forum...I would have to say you have 2 females, but they may still be too young to sex.

Welcome, for sure too young to tell yet.

Hi meandmytorts:

Welcome to the forum!!

May we know your name and where you are?

I'm pretty sure both the sulcata are male.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Its way too early to tell. I could guess, but it would be 50/50. Every once in a while there is an early clue, but not always. I have a male who I really thought was a female up until he was 8 or 9 years old.

They are pretty small for 2 for 3 year olds. Want some tips?

Yvonne is correct. Two males

 

[TortieLuver]

I agree. I think they are too small to say for certain. To me, they both do show signs leaning towards male.

 

[meandmytorts]

oh really i was hoping for females,how can you tell? well i was told there 2 or 3? i havent had them long at all a week max any info be great thankyou

It not always the age especially in Sulcata's, it's also there size. I see what everyone is seeing with the anal scutes showing signs that they will become males, that's why I said they may be too young to tell. Like Tom said, he thought his male was a female until the tort was 8-9 years old. So any guess at this time is just a guess. A lot will change as they get bigger and older. You should ask Tom for tips because he is correct, they are a little small for there age.
