Guesses welcome lol

Sorry dunno, it looks kind of odd somehow (swollen?) also looks like it has broken off the corner of it's shell, maybe why the pic was taken at that angle to disguise it?

Oh yeh, I can see what looks like a broken shell

Its the tortoise I was going to buy.I've spoken to the seller and she says that she has two torts that are fighting. She thought that she thought this one was female and the other one shes got is a male. She said that the other one is always fighting this one

At the moment this one is living in a drawer because shes had to seperate them. Its meant to be 2 years old.

I'd say male.

I think it looks more like a male really, but you can,t judge the size of it in that pic.

another photo of her/him

Easter Bunny · 18-09-2011, 12:11 PM

And this photo is of the other tortoise, thought to be male, aggressive towards the 1st one (photo)

I'd agree with the photo of the male. Not sure about the other one though. Compared to the male the tail is much shorter and isn't carried to the side as much but I'm not sure....
