Well if tortoise A and tortoise B have the same SCL (but not the same weight) and going the same speed down the motorway, tortoise A will make it to Chester before tortoise B.

I agree with Vicky

Thanks. 5 months ago both were pretty much the same looking and the general opinion then was both females, though Bindi thought 1 of each but since then there has been a change in tail size of one of them.

Although both are exactly the same SCL, tort B is more rounded and dome shaped and heavier while tort A is flatter and more flared round the edges

I would rather they were both females

They get on just fine outside at the moment but if there is one of each then no doubt that will change
