Hi, and welcome to the Forum!

There's just no way in heck to tell at this size. They usually don't show their gender until they start to go through sexual maturity. Most baby tortoises have female characteristics, however, your baby sure does have a long tail for such a small baby.

Thx a lot for your sharing, Yvonne! U meant usually such a little baby shouldn't have this long tail please? Not sure if that would mean any problem please?

Besides, i took another pic of him/ her to show better his/ her tail here.6566a95c-d1f7-4003-96b3-19d5bdae5dfd.jpg

A beautiful tortoise.:)
The slightly longer tail is not a problem.
wifeys nose is quite long for her species, but it hasn't caused her a lot of trouble.
