I don't disagree with Lynne but quite a lot of our sexing of young tortoises on these pages turns out not to be accurate.

^^ I think it's probably safe to 'assume' you should wait until approx 2 years before getting a more reliable gender identification?
For a temporary distraction of Fiorano I've put half a coconut shell in the house - it's sort of tortoise shaped

Next update...
I saw Valentino (the female) "humping" Fiorano today... bit of a role reversal I thought!. Certainly raised my suspicions! Anyway, bathing them today, and it does indeed appear that Valentino... (our confirmed twice female), is in fact also a male!! So, it appears we have 2 gay tortoises

I only saw a bit of it as it disappeared again, but it was about 'pea' size bless!

Being only pea sized and seemingly not long, it very well could have been "girl parts". But by all means post a new plastron and tail picture.
