Still saying male I'm going by the edges of the anal and femoral scutes and the seam between the anal and femoral scutes.

Ah ok, on the girls the edges of the anal scutes, and the seams between the anal and femoral scutes, make more of a dome shape, and on the boys they make a pointier 'tent' shape? Or am I just making stuff up?

I know a fool proof way.
If they lay eggs then there is a good chance they are female |

The darker one is a Testudo graeca ibera and the yellow one is T.g.terrestris.
