I'm still learning, but leaning towards female.

Male russian tortoises have obnoxiously big tails, so another vote for female. Also, if you measured this tortoise in a STRAIGHT line, and NOT over the curve of the carapace, males don't get that big.

I measured her in a straight line yeah. From back foot to head.
