Hey there,Looks like a hermanns. With that plastron and the nails.
I guess we shall find outHey there,
The Western Hermann’s will have more of two distinct black strips on either side, Eastern more separated. This whole black plastron is more characteristic of a Russian I think, but since there wasn’t a picture of the carapace, I wasn’t sure.
It’s a RussianI guess we shall find out

?Rule of thumb for testudos is - slot shaped cloaca = male, star or asterisk shape = female. This one looks slot shaped?????
So Russian tortoises sometimes unveil themselves as male as young as a year (by flashing their boy bits during a soak) but in general they all look female at this size... Until some don't. What we mean by this is, they hatch looking androgenous or all female. Then one day the males sprout a giant long male tail.
