Is mine a boy or a girl?

Hi guys.

I was told you can tell the sex of a tortoise by the size of their tail. I was told mine was a female, but this clearly looks male to me. Can anyone else tell me if it's female or male.

Thanks

You need a shot with the tort flipped over to see the scutes as well.

Looks boy to me but I am new to sexing torts so don’t listen to me lol.

I am no expert and I’m learning too and I would also say male.

Same here. I'm convinced it's a male now.
