Struggling to sex marginated tort

[Mrdaniel1510]

Hey,
I have had my marginated tort for four years since birth but I'm struggling to successfully sex him/her. I was hoping someone would be able to help by viewing the pictures I took.
Thank you

Looks like a boy to me. Margies can be difficult at this size. Few more years and good sunshine growth should be more accurate. I was in the same boat years ago with some. I wasnt 100# until they were around 8-10" on a few of them.

I think it's still too small, but I'm guessing female.

Too small but I'm agree with emysemys, looks like female.

I agree, it's a bit too young to tell but I would think at this age it's a female. Give it a nice unisex name like Chris or Pat or fluffy

This is what I thought as he/she is only around 5-6 inches Thanks for your help guys, guess i'll have to wait a little while longer for a definite.

If it's a male margy, he will show you in own special way eventually.. My margy can't keep that thing under wraps

Still too small to tell. Marginateds show maturity later than other Testudo species. Generally they have to be about half grown, 5-6" to absolutely be certain of their gender. Some are more appatent than others when they're around 4.5".
The photos below are of a male (1st) and a female (2nd) that were both about 7" at the time of the photo:
