Looking at all the identifiers everything points to a boy except the ā€˜Vā€™ in the shell so now I'm confused :?: [attachment=0]F4ABA5B8-9A9A-4F65-8659-0A3E00062EEE.jpeg[/attachment][attachment=1]0BCA825C-8D8B-4154-A039-AAA1244922E9.jpeg[/attachment]

Tortoises are not easy to sex unless they flash or are in the older category where we can be 100%. But this one does look like a young male to me right now, but there is room to change - :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmm. At 1 no vet would be able to even guess what sex a tortoise was, it would have to have been hatched at specific temps for male or female hatchlings and even that is not guaranteed. Best to wait and make sure, as I said even mine is a guess and there is still time for change - :lol:
