My new Children

[Jennpaints]

Introducing Philly and Del.

I recently adopted them from a lovely woman who was concerned about taking care of them long term.

They have big personalities. Their former owner believes they’re around 3 years old.

However, it’s very obvious Del is a boy and with his size I’m thinking he’s about 4 or 5.

Philly is smaller and right now we’re thinking possibly female.

They love their greens and soaking!

They look to be in pretty good shape.
Any two tortoises kept together will look like that. One larger. One smaller.
Size alone is not a reliable indicator of sex

Thanks, I’m aware size is not an indicator of sex. Del’s plastron is very concave underneath and he has a long tail.

I agree with your thoughts on that one
