Yes they do they have their own towel when they come out the bath .it saves getting dirt on them n getting it in their eyes so they are dry when they go back in the viv

Thank you! More people saying male than female. Yes I am. Are you local to me?

Where ever you have posted that they told you it was a girl, you should never post there again. Doubly so if it was Facebook. This is clearly a Male, you’ve got a photo of the penis, that’s pretty definitive I’d say. But just so your clear, no one here is guessing, your Tort is a boy without any doubt.

No it wasn’t Facebook, it was the tortoise table forum. We were told by a vet a few years ago that females can also show their sex organ which is why I’ve been questioning it as I don’t know what the female organ looks like.
thanks for your reply though. I’m glad I’ve finally been able to confirm.

I’ve never seen a tortoise display his man parts, so WHOA ? I was taken aback !!! I was sure it was a female, until the penile display. He looks to be in good shape

Of course @zovick is correct. The comments you heard that females occasionally show their sex organs are correct but they look much different. Here is a post I started a while ago talking about this and I have a picture of a female radiated tortoise flashing her clitoris. You will see, as @zovick mentioned, that upon examination, they look much different than a penis.

Dude looks like a lady (actually the opposite)

I thought this would be of interest to many, and a surprise to most, though I know some of you have seen this before. We often tell people they don'y know the sex of a tortoise for sure until it lays eggs or flashes you. The attached picture shows what many would consider 100% proof that this...

Thank you. Yeah the tail isn’t overly long. But definitely much longer than my females.
