sex please?

pixie-egg · 15-04-2011, 11:07 AM

This is the tort i'm thinking about rehoming. Just wondered if anyone can tell the sex. I know the angle is rotten but it's uh best pic the owner sent. Thanks x

Female I think

Woo hoo. Thats the answer I was hoping for. I'm 80% sure Ed is a girl so fingers crossed they can live together in the future. I'll have to post a pic of him (?) too x

We need a better pic showing the tail and anal scutes face on so to speak really...

is it no a horsfield? looks a bit like it to me just with the roundness of it. did you say it was an ibera on another thread?

I could be wrong, horsfields only have 4 claws on their front feet, that looks like it could be five

The only pic's the lady sent are one from the side, the top and this one.
It's definately not a horsfield from the other pic's! Not seen her spur's though.
I'll see if the lady can send some better angle's.

It's a T.g.ibera, though looking more like a male to me. But like everyone has said, need a better plastron picture to be sure.

Thanks danny. Yep, you said male to my better pic's. So thank you x

Mmmm I have Horsfields and 1 inparticular has been sexed (in here)male, female, male, because it flashed in the bath, then it was back to female as the bits flashed where lady bits but then alas I was told there was more to expose hidden in the tail so we are now back to a male.

Hi sue. Sorry but this is a tort i've now taken in not giving away (i'm a bit rubbish at explaining). It is definately an ibera and Dan has sexed it as male on another thread with better pic's.
Thanks though Sue. Hope your search goes well
