Your tortoise is too small to sex at this point. They all look female at the size yours is. The secondary sexual characteristics normally don't develop until they are in the 14 - 16" size range. And by the time they are 16" and 16 lbs if they still look female, there is a really good bet its a female. Until then - things will change!
