pancake tortiose sex

viperbitex Apr 08, 2006 06:01 PM

Hi. I'm not new to keeping tortoises, i have 3 greeks and a 3 year old sulcata. I just resently bought a BEAUTIFUL pancake. The problem is that I can't sex it. I know it sounds dumb, but it has a thick and long tail, but its about 6 1/2 inches long. I always heard that its huge for a pancake to begin with, and that males rarely ever get any bigger the 5 inches. Can anyone help me? I don't care what gender it is, i have no intentions to breed, i just want to give it a gender friendly name you know? Any help is appreciated!! Thanx!!

If the tail is long it is probably male. If you want to be sure, post a picture.
