Please re-sex my rads (if possible) :0)
Hi all here are my two girls...yes I call them girls even though I don't know if they are for sure, they have been in this section a while ago from the previous owner however thought it may be fun to have another go now their a tiny bit bigger. Many thanks
First is Aurora-weight 138g age 3 years. And Tinga- weight 240g age 4 years. I know radiated tortoises are one of the most difficult to sex until they are mature but theres no harm in a guess.

At 12 inches they are difficult to sex.
...but for the sake of not p****** on your parade... one is a female and one is a male.(I'll go dannys route) The are in fantastic form. I recently saw a post on FB from a guy who I believe is in Tiawan that had some of the most stunning Radiata... and a G. yniphora.

I thought the exact same.. didn't want to say though since danny thought the other way and I didn't fancy confusing anyone

no chance of that when you have a 25% chance of being correct... both male... both female... one or the other male or female.

I would have said two males but sometimes I have difficulty telling the difference between male and female humans
