Gender and Breed Help Please :P

AlborosieUK · 23-01-2011, 03:13 PM

Hiya all, been a veeerrrrryyyyy long time since I have been on actively I really need to get on everyday like I used to. Anyway on to what I'm here to talk about!

Before I was suppost to post pictures of the plastron etc to see what gender my tort was and I was also wondering if you can tell the breed from the photos thanks in advance

P.S - I was wondering if there is a safe and totally harmless way to remove the white blotch on the shell that the petshop put on there?

Jah Bless

Also just to add, does the shell pattern look ok?
I just get pretty scared that his/her shell growth is correct, is it Pyrimiding or anything?
Jah Bless

Looks like you have a little girl

I'm not sure how to get the stuff off,Maybe try getting it off with a stiff bristled tooth brush?

Depends what the white stuff is as to how you take it off

I wondered myself Greg, but don't see any Spurs? Do they all have spurs? Or are some Iberas without them

Looks like an Ibera to me too- the spurs are there, just very small
