This is why you should think twice before being abrupt with people Josh

Often when tortoises are bathed males like to show there manhood off, if you bathe in a clear container you will often see them show this through the bottom it may well take a few good warm soaks to achieve this, again though this isn't 100% as not all will show, but then taking guesses isn't 100% either
