Please help in sexing my redfoot tortoise please

[Parais11]

can anyone help clarify if I have a male or female redfoot? I think I know what it is but would like opinions from the experienced eyes here. He/she is about 6 inches and ~3 yrs of age. Thank you!!! (I am new here, apologies if I am wrong for posting here).

Too young to tell. Hormones don’t kick in till about 5 years old. Remember, these guys can live to 75 years old. Many a female looking youngster can turn male “peanut” shape and concave plastron in their “teenage 5-6-7” years. I would guess, and it’s just a guess, with larger tail and spread anal scutes tending toward male. Just gotta wait.

Too young still.

Hello all! It’s been a little over a year since my question. And was wondering if now it’s clearer to tell the sex. I’m guessing female, but I’m sure you all out there have more experience. Here are a few pics of Sunny now.

Looks female in my opinion.
