Just curious what others thought about the sex of this Sulcata. I adpoted it in the summer of 2008 as a 30 gram hatchling. It is now two years old. 8 inches and 1800 grams. This growth blows me away as I have until 2008 only kept box turtles. At any rate I am curious if this thing was showing a tendency to be male or female to those that know what they are looking at. I really dont mind either way as I have no intentions of breedng it. just curious is all. Excuse the dirt as I just pulled him from his burrow.
Thanks for any feedback

At that size you really cant tell. I had a Sulcata that i raised from a juvinile to 20 pounds and i swore it was a female until it got into a fight with a male and mounted a female. So i would say to see if you can find the breeder and maybe find out the temp. it was hatched @.
