Size can be defining, but you can get big boys. Cause could be genetic, diet... you name it.

Joe is a case in point... different species, large for a male, but 100% boy!

I'm going with Tracey on this one. If it was a smaller tortoise the scutes and tail would say male. Seeing though that she is over 6 inches and the tail hasn't gotten any bigger and the anal scutes haven't spread out, she just has a few male tendenancies. I'm going to say female
