Well, good luck with your attempt to return the tortoises. Hopefully the seller will respond to you very soon, arrange to take them back, and then return your money posthaste. I will NOT be holding my breath for this to happen, however.
He’s trying to take the price down telling me he wants them to stay in such a good home with me. Typical. I actually think the smaller one may be female as I came down to this...
They both looked like males yesterday in the beginning of this thread. Look at the tail on that smaller one again in the picture from yesterday. I still believe that one is a male. Just because the one tortoise was mounting the other one this morning doesn't necessarily mean they are two different sexes. Often two tortoises of the same sex will mount each other, both males and females. I have witnessed that happening numerous times over the years, especially in immature animals who are just learning the ropes.
I posted new pics in the other thread. I think your right. I just thought at the same age why they didn’t have similar tail or size.
Individual animals may mature at different sizes and at different ages.
