[Mariale]

View attachment 210183Hey guys my name is Maria sorry about my English but I'm Spanish! (Im trying my best) This is my baby boy, I got him the day after he was born I though I couldn't take care of him but he's doing great, he's almost 3 weeks old!
When I bought him they told me he was a male but I think he is a female... Can you HELP me?
Btw: His name is Donatello!

There's no way to know the sex of a hatchling tortoise. Even if the breeder set the brooding temperature for females, you still don't know for sure until they get to be five or six years old.

Hi Maria

 

[mike taylor]

Yvonne is right . You never know until they flash you or are five to six years old .

Welcome, as stated above you have a LONGGGGGG wait to find out if it is a boy or a girl, but the good news is that they don't care if their name matches their gender.
