To sex a tortoise we need a photo of the underside of the plastron and particularly the tail area.
And it has to be a few years old, in most cases.

Agreed. This is the photo we need.

It's size that matters for sexing and not age.

You should also tell us the Straight Carapace Length (SCL) of your tort.

Here's how to measure it:

There is no way to determine sex of that hatchling box turtle for several years

Looks like 4 toes, and as we suspected probably a eastern from New York.

The Harvey Dent side of me says male, the Two Face side of me says female. Too early to tell even if you flip a coin.
