Marginateds are the toughest Testudos to sex

With that being said here goes
Male
Female
Male
The anal scutes help, but it's just as much tail shape and size with the marginateds. The anal scutes can fool you with marginateds

Dan

I agree with Dan, marginata are terrible to sex.
The top one I am not sure.
2 I would say female.
3 Definitely male, as he has a waist too<g>.
Can we have another picture of number one with a bit more of the body please<G>.

Becks · 10-08-2006, 03:55 PM

looking at the 2nd lot of pics i would also say male female male also

but i still have me L plates when it comes to sexing torts

sandy · 10-08-2006, 03:59 PM

That number one is diffecult, I think the shape of the body says female, but not sure.
Number two when you see the body shape looks male, but tail female.
Still think number three is male<g>.
But I dont see many marginata to be really sure. An educated guess, is the best I can do.
Definitely one male one female and a who knows<vbg>.
Always fun to try.
