They all look female at that size.Dear all,
My indian star tortoise is currently 3 inches! May i seek your help/thoughts on whether its a male or female!
Thanks in advance!
Roger that! May i know what size would be a better gauge?They all look female at that size.
I normally can tell by the time they are in the 600g-700g range, weight wise.Roger that! May i know what size would be a better gauge?
Hoping its a female too! 🙏🏻Fairly certain that’s a female. Indian stars don’t get as large as Burmese stars and are generally easier to sex then Burmese stars. I breed Indian stars. My adult full grown male is 600g. So you can usually sex them around half that size. Look out for flashing when you soak it.
An adult full grown Indian male only gets to be between 350-750g. Sri Lankan stars get about 2-3 times the size of Indians.
For what it is worth, I have bred quite a few of all three types of Stars and I would say yours is a female.Hoping its a female too! 🙏🏻
In one month I can’t imagine it gaining more then 10-20 grams at that size. So not much has changed as far as growth. I would wait a year or two for an update photo to guess the sex.This is an update photo 1 month later. Still looking female?
