sex of tortoises?

[scrambled legs]

hello there, i'd just like some expert advice here, i've been told by three different people, (including vets) what sex bradley and gwendoline are but i thought i'd put them on here because i've got my suspicions...... if you want more pics, then just shout me

they are nearly three now so i know it still maybe too soon to tell.

cheers,

Neil.

plus if you want to get a smaller pic showing when you click them just right click the new window with pic on and then left click 'view image' this will show a more sober picture.

cheers.

blimey, thats crazy, they were bought as females, both vets said i had two girls, can you tell me how you knew please dan?

i was just about to buy them a same age 'male' for the future! literally next weekend!

in that case, i need to know everything about seperating them in the not too distant future.


cheers,

Neil.

You may not have to seperate them in the future, they may be just fine together if no females are added to the group. Just watch them as they grow up for any aggression.

so you say male too peter?
:D

I personally find Leopards very difficult to sex as I am used to med tortoises, but I would say they may be males, but wouldn't like to say either way :)

I would have said female, but leopards are most notorious to sex, even when a lot older.

On the bright side, Neil, they're both tortoises :? :D

My first thougths were that they were both males. But dont quote me on that, I thought my leos were male and female until just recently.

I now know I have two boys.

They are much older than yours and I have not had any trouble up to press, just make sure you have plenty of hiding places to avoid each other.

I would avoid getting another until you know for certain :D

If I was to take a guess I'd say male or female... sorry. WCs are the best for hiding their gender until they are at least twice that size. If I was forced to take a guess I'd say male. I got a 50/50 chance of being right.
