please help me sex these torts

[Anyfoot]

Hi there everyone

This is my 1st time on here so if anything goes wrong its my kids fault.

We are looking for a couple of female cherry head torts. We think we have found some however the seller is saying they are male but he's not sure. I'm convinced from the photos they are female but may be wrong. They are about 11" in length.
Would much appreciate anyones opinion out there please.

Thank you Craig n Dawn

Thank you. I thought that if the anal part of the plastron was a tight semi circle it was female. Or is this not stictly true. Im going to add some more photos that show better views.

This is a photo of my male cherry head for comparison

Only a very slightly concave which can also be a characteristic of the female. Some of my female redfoots have a minor concave plastrons.

Thank you G-star. Think im just trying to convince myself they are female. Your probably right.

Thank you.
What do you reckon these 2 torts are. male or female.

Welcome! I think they look male. In the first pic, the left tort looks male, and the right is a little blurry... but he may have two guys

Cheers mate.
Thats 4 people that said they are males. I'll tell the seller I can't take them. I'm gutted. Adult female cherry heads are hard to find over here in the uk, and my male needs a friend.

I've read female torts are little harder to find, possibly because they are liable to grow larger!
@N2TORTS breeds redfoots and cherryheads, maybe he can help you

Because most tort like being alone, and even thrive being single.
