Hi we have two thb and there's been much confusion in the past about the sex from the vet, us, previous owners etc. However we had an egg this morn so be nice to know who has laid it! So here goes

Two pics of each tort. First tort up is bambam

My thinking was bambam was a boy. (We've had a few flashes) and pebbles was girl. What do you guys think?
Thank you

Thanks guys that's what I thought but as bambam only likes to give a small Willy flash in the bath it can be hard to know!! Also makes it more difficult as pebbles flashes her lady bits :O thus adding to the confusion!!! I shall check back later for dannys verdict

Looking like 2 females to me

Bambam's tail is bigger, but it's not a typical male of that size's tail (which would be huge and have a very large nail on the end of it).

Looks like the egg won't be viable then

emmajh · 14-03-2012, 01:48 PM

Oh how dissapointing

I thought 2 females also... quite large to boot. I'm guessing you didn't raise them to that size so they probably were with a male. They will also drop eggs if not with a male but they are usually are infertile.
