Based on what I've read and learned - and with that I must say I'm way new to this - but I think a female.

If she is an adult, it does look like a female. How long is the tortoise (bottom of shell, lengthwise)?
Female.
Unless your Russian is less than 3 or 4 inches. A small Russian could still be developing.

I agree, it looks female at this point. Is that what you were hoping to hear?

I bought an informative book about Russian Tortoises and it said that both the male and the female have flat plastron (the bottom of their shell) Typically, with other types of tortoises, the male is more concave to help with mating purposes, and the female is flat. But not with Russians. The tail of your tortoise looks really short to me, at least compared to my Bowser. I think you might have a female. But if your tortoise is young, it may be take time to know for certain. Females tend to grow bigger than the males, and the males have longer tails. Take care!Vishnu2 said:I know everyone ask this, but its killing me. I wanna know what you guys think. male or female? Thanks so much!

Just curious, wanted a healthy tortoise (most of all). She/He checked out in the vet's office okay. So, I am happy about that.
Thanks everyone for your opinions on the sex of my tortoise. I appreciate you guys. Have a great evening!
Female unless its small, I know its russian but if he/she is under 4 inches then things could change
