Hi,
Could anybody roughly sex what this tortoise is or going to be from these to pictures.
This is not my first Russian I have and not sure of the age of this one. I wouldn't never quote you, but expert opinion and guess would be a bit of a help wink 😉

Female if it's old/big enough to be accurate

The rule of thumb for testudos is star shaped cloaca - female, slit shaped cloaca - male. Event though this picture shows a pretty small tail, the cloaca is slit shaped, so I'm going with male
