Meet our adopted Leopard tortoise

Monthly weight check for Agbienna today:
5 lbs, 1.1 oz. Also 9 1/2 inches long, about 7 inches wide.
Although I haven't seen anything, and I'm definitely not an expert, I'm thinking we have a male. Time will tell I suppose.

 

[Ink]

He or she looks great!

Can you tell boy or girl?

Can you tell boy or girl?

Nope, lol. I haven't been flashed yet and even tried the running water trick a few times. Maybe she really is a girl?

Ink flashed the vet I have never seen it, 15 years old. Thank goodness.. can you post a picture to see if we can tell?

Sure. I think looking more male, but I really have no idea.

I still think girl. Ink's tale was a lot longer. Maybe you'll know for sure if she lays eggs. ? Her and ink would make beautiful babies...

Out and about. Also, yesterday did weight check: 6lbs 3.8 oz and 10 1/2 inches long.

Still doing very well. From when her first owner got her, this month would make her 4 years old. She weighed 7 lbs, 11.2 oz and was 11 inches long on Monday. I’m thinking I might actually have a girl. Any thoughts?

Her color is beautiful! I say girl. @Tom wait for an expert

A day late, but it's been 2 years yesterday since we gave AgbiƐnaa a home. Still doing great, eating like a pig and growing. She’s about 4 1/2 years old now. I love her little heart on the front scute.

You could be right about being a male. The tail is going to the one side....I hope you never see his stuff.

Oh do you think so? I sure hope I don’t, lol. Which picture were you seeing the tail?

 

[Ink]

I take it back .. female still for me.

Oh ok! I’m still like . Has a very stubby tail, but the shape of the anal scute doesn’t look like a female to me.

Ink flashed the Vet when he had his beak trimmed. That's how I found out several years ago .
