Okay heres my guess - My baby sulcata looks just like the one on the right. Because of the abnormalities in mines scutes everyone says that it was incubated at a higher temp, making it more likley to be female (who knows)? Im guessing that The one in the first pic that was marked as maybe a male, turned out to be your female? And the one on the left was your male? Do The males, or females get larger when full grown?


:Here are three pics of the same torts (the twins) taken over a ~3yr period.

:Each tort (Sulcata's) is in same postion in each pic, ie Goldie is always to left hand side.

:For you ppl who think that they can tell the difference of a "small tort, take a look at the first pic, shows a clear difference in the anal scutes, at 7mth old.
:Take no heed of the comments placed on the first pic, these were my best guess's at the start.

:By 13mth & 3yr pics are you still sure you know the sex of each tort.

:I'll post the definate "sex" of these two torts tomorrow, you may be surprized.
