Teddy did this for the first time when he was two, I thought
his guts were falling out. I've got plenty of pics of his
plastron, and they are inconclusive. You usually can't determine
sex too soon, he was 7 pounds at this time.

Teddy

Teddy two years ago, he was 17 inches SCL at that time, and
extending over half his shell length. He is currently
almost 5 years old, and over 60 pounds, and no current pics
of that anymore, someone might faint. And you wondered
exactly WHAT they had in that shell.

Oh.....MY.....GOD! im sorry bu that looks more like a satallite than a penis.

oh GAWD... i had no idea what that looked like for torts. i've seen a snake's ween, and an iguana's ween, but that takes the cake!

if i saw that and didn't know what it was, i'd rush to the emergency vet!

OK. that is, well that just goes to show that God *DOES* have a sense of humour.

So being the proud "sister" of a female tort, and not having much experience with male torts, do they always run around like that? Or just when they are aroused?

I apologize for my lack of knowledge, and potential political correctness.

Naw they only do that once in a while, otherwise they're inocently
grazing. I'm sure if it happened while we were hosting a
BBQ party it would clear the place of guests really quick!

How old/big is your sulcata, some 30 plus pounders have been known
to be "girls" until *THAT* happens! lol! At this point unless
it's laid eggs I wouldn't be sure of anything.

Pic. is Teddy this spring - 4 years old, 60 pounds
