image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg Her shell is exactly 8" long and she's about 7 and a half years old. (I know there's pyramiding but she's fat and healthy). I always assumed its a girl but now after researching lots of pics she looks in-between to me and I'm getting confused. Would like to get her a male companion cause she humped, clicked at, and grunted on a Sulcata. I saw a clear sticky on her tail but no male anatomy coming out. Please help.

Oh and her name is Foot!

I'm not feeling confident enough to start looking for a mate with those answers. At least I feel better that I'm not the only one who's not sure! LOL

I thank every one of you for looking at HIM for me. Now I have to get used to the gender change...feels so weird.
