Boettgeri (?) sex
Hello everyone, a friend of mine send me these photos asking for sex determination. At first i said male but now i'm in doubt. Was i right? :oops:
Thanks in advance :) http://s32.postimg.org/h1015ojnp/IMG...520_WA0019.jpg http://s32.postimg.org/ienj6mah1/IMG...520_WA0018.jpg |
Im not good with THB sexing but based on anal scutes being wider I would say male but the shell to plastron ratio would suggest female...! and I cant see the keyhole so I am going to opt female ! but !!! someone better than me with the 'ol knowledge will know. CB

What is the size of the underside and age?
|
it's 8-9 years old, size i suppose about 20cm looking at the owner's hand
|
any tortoise with 3 back legs tends to be male!
|
It looks like my big girl
|
Agree, a big girl. Males are much smaller than females, and the tale would be wrapped around the leg if it was male. Also the male THB has a bell shaped shell

Female:):-):-)

Thank you all :) so my doubt was true. Probably seeing it live would be easier but these are the only photos my friend sent me.
|
I'm a bit late to agree, but female. :-)
