It is rather a shock to the system even if you're expecting it!

Name change in order? Looking back through old posts, Danny was correct as ever!

sounds like he might be Sandy then from now on

It would scare me too.... time will only tell I guess if that happens for me!

If you check through the posts on sexing you will find that females have a similar organ to the male. Flashing is not a sure sign as evidence of a male in younger tortoises.

Oh, I don't know... the male organ is pretty enormous. The girls can flash but it's more like a cowboy hat and is less alarming.

It depends on how big the animal is. The point I'm making is that both sexes have the same organ. Adult males do have the bigger and more useful tool.
