Name that gender!

I know it may be a stretch but these are my yearling leopard tortoises that were incubated to be female and would like to know if we are on the right track. Thanks! Separate torts in each pic.

I'm going to say top girl ,bottom boy .

 

[Dkozi7]

Could I ask how you came to that conclusion ? I see very v like scutes but am Farley new to this.

 

[mike taylor]

Well its a theory of mine. female's let their tails hang down ,males keep the tucked up .

Way too young, but my guess is two males. However, with a second guess of first one female, second one male. On my iPad, the pictures are side by side, not top and bottom.

To young to sex leopards. The 6-8 inch mark is usually when sex becomes apparent

I would say too young to tell also.
That ensures my guess isn't wrong.
