How long is the tail?
Male torts tend to have extremely long tails compared to females.
The males tail is held to the side and can reach over to the back leg!
Check out the pictures on this page, not desert torts but you'll get the idea!

Maybe Ian can post pics of both male and female desert torts for you.

I doubt the eggs are fertile, but at least you now know you have a female tort.
Must have been quite a shock to see those eggs!

Terry.
