Whats the gender of my redfoot tortoise?

[peqio]

Hello Everyone! I got this juvenile redfoot tortoise a month ago and I still don't have a name for it, because I don't know its gender.

Im thinking that my redfoot tortoise is a male. Can somebody please confirm or correct my speculation? Thank you so much.

Welcome to the forum!

Your baby is too young yet to tell the gender.

A very warm welcome to the forum.

I too, would have said a male, but Yvonne-an expert-knows better.

Don't worry. It's normal. I STILL have a sub adult female named Julio!

Hello

It definitely has a way bigger tail than my little RF who is the same size, but only time will tell. My Ruby might be a Rueben. Just pick a gender neutral name or something with a good alternative.

Thanks Grandpa Turtle

@LaDukePhoto, Yes Im still thinking of a neutral name. By the way, can they recognize their names like dogs?
