It is definitely male or female. I'm positive.
It has a very small gular, the anal scutes point straight back, and the tail is small - all female attributes, however, almost all tortoises look female until they get big enough to be going through sexual maturity. At that time shells and tails change if they're male.View attachment 261884 Hi
We have a young sulcata and are trying to determine the sex. It’s about 7 inches across, so might be too small to tell.
Thank you
