Toby, not a boy?!

[Nixxy]

So I'm pretty sure my Toby is a girl. =[

He(?) is 8 this month, and his growth was a bit stunted.

Here's some pics that might help...

Looks girl to me..

No doubt about it. She's a girl.

 

[Nixxy]

Now I have no idea what to call her. D:

 

[wheezysmomma]

You can still call her Toby like Toby, Elaine's co-workers on Seinfeld or Tobi with a heart over the i

You've only had her for a couple months, right? In the big span of things, that's not too long. You could just change her name

 

[Momof4]

Toby is a great name!

 

[Nixxy]

Well, she is 8. So she has been called Toby for a long time.

She literally responds to it. If I call out Toby, she'll turn and walk to me. She doesn't do that unless I say Toby.


Toby it is, still!

Boy or girl, love her regardless.

There's a male tortoise on here called Sarah... so I wouldn't be self conscious about it!

 

[Nixxy]

Welp. I know a guy named Courtney, so hey.



I like the name. It seems kind of unisex, to me.

Oh! I didn't realize the rescue called her Toby as well.

 

[Nixxy]

Yep, and the people they got her from, too.

Well, thanks guys! I was pretty sure..I know she isn't very large yet, 8" (Bit small due to stunted growth from her original caretaker.) roughly OTC. But I'm seeing growth lines and if I recall it's around 6 inches it becomes more clear about their gender?

I was so surprised when I found out my Russian was a SHE and not a HE

We have a sulcata named Harry(ette) she turned out to be a he. Boy were we embarrassed (s)he even has (her)his own facebook page!

Yep. By 8" it's pretty definite too.

Who cares? It's just a name Toby is a great name!! My Sheldon might be a girl but she will always be Sheldon. I've said it on here before and I'll say it again, to me names, colors, clothes, etc, don't have a gender unless they have "those" parts, lol.

 

[Nixxy]

True that!

I always thought it was dumb when people say "That's a girl color". Who cares if I like pink? It's a color. Doesn't have anything to do with my gender or me as a person, it's just a color preference!

(I wear salmon pink button up shirts frequently to work. Trust me, I hear it a lot.)

Aw, I like Toby as a girls name
