Help with Sexing Part 4

IMacBevan Nov 11, 2010 09:58 PM

And finally (for now), here is tort 4 recently rescued. Tort weighs 24.8 lbs and is 16 inches long. Does have some scute abonormalities (not the least of which is one affecting the anal scute on one side). Again has a dead flat plastron. This one is in isolation at the moment, so I'm not sure of how he/she will react with other torts.

Any thoughts?

thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Ian

would love to see a different angle on the tale.

This is likely a female, but is a little small to be 100% sure. There are "late bloomers" that do not show sexual characters until 40# or even bigger.
