I have a feeling you didn't measure the straight carapace (top shell) length as those weights are way to low for those lengths. Here's a good guide as to how to measure a tortoise. An acurate measurement makes a difference as to figuring out what sex. http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ead.php?t=6550

I will remeasure although they have always been a little small ( have put on weight this year though)
Was confused by way the second one seems to hold tail towards leg. |

If your measurements are right they are both very underweight and both females. Your first one would be over 150g underweight if the size is right but hope thats not right.

#1 is looking male and #2 is looking female Your weights aren't bad going by the actual measurements.
