Unless you have baby hands I don't see how this can be a male.

Yes but Morla has also begun showing typical adolescent male tortoise behaviours. First thing he does when out of his viv is patrols the room, he is a little temperamental, he will nod, ram, his at and bite random objects, he will mount anything vaguely tortoise shaped (even slippers) and is quite determined to court Nellie, chasing her and trying to bite her forelegs.

Sounds like female dominance

As reply to the comment on baby hands well I am quite petite, my 12 year old brother's hands are bigger than mine so I guess mine are quite small XD

In reponse to the majority I'll get Morla's stats tomorrow since I don't wanna disturb the chameleon now he's gone to bed.

Person asking on size of bits, bout his full tail length that I've seen when he's weeing, besides that I've not seen clearly enough. I can say I've been checking pictures to ensure it's not an intestinal prolapse but it's not obviously veinous, is pinky/grey and long and a peculiar shape. Given previous threads I've seen where someone has worried bout prolapse I presume that peculiar shape with the clear donut shape with a dot in the middle is a penis.
