I don't disagree with Lynne but quite a lot of our sexing of young tortoises on these pages turns out not to be accurate.

^^ I think it's probably safe to 'assume' you should wait until approx 2 years before getting a more reliable gender identification?


For a temporary distraction of Fiorano I've put half a coconut shell in the house - it's sort of tortoise shaped :D :lol:

Next update...

I saw Valentino (the female) "humping" Fiorano today... bit of a role reversal I thought!.
Certainly raised my suspicions!

Anyway, bathing them today, and it does indeed appear that Valentino... (our confirmed twice female), is in fact also a male!!

So, it appears we have 2 gay tortoises :lol:

Could it not be a dominance thing? One of my girls climbs on top of elvis quite oftern he doesn't seem to mind tho lol

not unless "she" has a willy :lol:

How big was the "willy"? :mrgreen:

Might not be a willy lol could be tho gay tortoises :0) why ever not :-D

Any port in a storm as they say :lol::lol:

I only saw a bit of it as it disappeared again, but it was about 'pea' size :D bless!

Being only pea sized and seemingly not long, it very well could have been "girl parts". ;) :mrgreen: But by all means post a new plastron and tail picture. :D
