Newbie post. We have had 2 red-footed tortoises for 5 years who we thought were females. We just added a third. We hadn't looked closely at the original two in a couple years (oops) and now think they are males. The new one we THOUGHT was a male, but behavior is indicating otherwise. The new one is pretty receptive to mounting and the original one is constantly trailing/mounting/grunting the new one. Is this just two males establishing dominance or is the new one a female? The first two pics are of our original (who we now think is male), the second two pics are of the newbie. Thank you for any help
