Default Interesting Tortoise

Anyone like to have a go at sexing this tortoise? I'm 99% sure but thought it would be fun for everyone else to have a go.

It's a female Dan. The tail is that of a normal female, I'll try and get a closer picture for you as I do think that this photo makes it look quite odd.

The anal and femoral scutes are saying male

Has it laid eggs?
