Sex of tortoise

[Brayden]

Hello. Not sure if I'm doing this right as I've never used this forum before or any other really. Just wondering if someone could tell me the sex of my hermanns tortoise. Hopefully the pictures I've tried to add will work and be enough. Thanks!

I think "he" is still to young to sex.

A cute little tort, though I'm unable to tell you if it's a ale or a female - sorry.

And a warm welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the help. About what size must they be for the sex to be identifiable ?

 

[dmmj]

for this species absolute minimum 4 inches preferably 5 or 6 even then it can be difficult.

Haha well my plan of holding off naming it until I knew the sex has fallen through. Good to know. Thanks

It looks like a little girl tail, however most young tortoises look female until they get big enough to start through sexual maturity.

That's wise.
