Help with Sexing a Redfoot, Tampa Florida

[surfinab]

Hello I am new to this forum but would love some help.

My name is Walter and I have owned a Redfoot for about 7 years now. I was wondering if you call could give some advice as to whether it is a boy or girl. Is it too young to tell?

I do intend to breed he/she, and will be all over this site with many qustions in the future. Thanks so much for any help in advance!

Have to disagree N2TORTS. I'm sticking with male! We'll just have to wait and see who is right! *let the challenge begin*

Dannel.....that is not always the case. In RF's as well as other species, larger females " can and " will have indentations as well. Why we never use "one" rule , to try and sex a tortoise. There are many key factors to consider and finally a more accurate and educated guess. Also after owning , viewing and hatching 100's of the species helps with accurately sexing redfoots.
Here is an example of one of my breeding large Female CherryHeads.
Notice the indentation?

And for the OP .... Here is an adult male .........

Much larger tail as you can see......
