Does anyone have photos of what the different sexes of sulcatas look like? I have read the difference bt male and female, but I think it would be easier if someone had 'examples'. I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

they are pretty generic once reaching that age, checkout the sexing segment on worldcheloniantrust.com

They all look pretty similar..
(although I've been questioned).. Look at anal scutes (just above tail).. male on left - broad "space".. so he can manipulate thick long tail - female with "inverted" U or V shape.
Even though these are redfoots.. principal still the same.. anal scute method can be used sometimes in "smaller/younger" tortoises.. (the part I've been questioned about).
Some male tortoises have "extreme" concave plastron (belly) so they can "reach" female easier!
Love those redfoots..
