With Cookie I wasn't sure either. I met a turtle last summer that was exactly her size, the owner knew when that turtle had hatched & said the turtle was 4 years old in the summer of 2007.
I then assume that Cookie is about the same age.
I have not been able to tell for certain if she is male or female because she isn't a full grown adult.
My 2 males Chip & Hobo told me she's female.
Hobo & Chip saw one another a couple of years ago when Chip was up on the porch and Hobo was on the ground walking by. When they saw each other they both knew that they were seeing another male. They were ready for battle immediately.. shocking to me to see how they reacted from such a distance.
I showed Cookie to each of them separately last summer & I knew for sure that she's female because both males reacted quite amorously towards her. No fighting stance from either of them when they saw her.LOL
With my baby Kibbles, I'm waiting for her/him to grow a little more then I'll do the Chip/Hobo test again. ----- PHRatz
