Female.

Looks like a girl to me. My male has a tail about 3"long.

Female without a doubt.

I agree, it is a female for sure.

Well, there's always one of us to put a monkey wrench in the mix. Because the tips of the anal scutes point outwards, and the over all shape of the tortoise (more oblong than round), I was thinking it is a male.

 

[ShellyTurtlesCats]

No way that's a male. My male looks much different down there. Hehe

 

[dds7155]

Again Thanks,, it's hard to tell when you only have pictures to compare to , i know no one in my area that has tortoises ,,

With that excellent growth rate, it is a tortoise to watch. Very cool.

Well, there you have it!!! The consensus is that it's a male.......female!!

I would have said its too elongated to be female. Hmm *strokes chin*
