Thank you EJ,

Between you and Turtletary, I am having some major doubts. After all, we are talking about my blonde female leopard tortoise up on the auction block, so to speak.

I already have 1.1 cherry's and I do not need 2 extra males. LOL One extra would be okay with another female, but....



>>At that size it is a gamble all around.
>>
>>The easiest way to tell at that size is to get a photo of them side by side and compare which should be clear if they are the same size.
>>
>>It is a nice looking animal but unless it is a fantastic deal you might want to really consider all options because if you have 2 males you are going to pay through the nose for a female although the males are easier to sell if you are lucky enough to get a couple with good color. The males are usually the nicer in color.
>>
>>Also if you don't get a pair from the same source it can be very difficult a matching type from a different source.
>>
>>>>I asked the person that I am dealing with to send more tail photos, so I should have some more by tonight. He was trading me a pair of cherry's but now I think it might be 2 males.
>>>>
>>>>Thanks again for everyone's help. I will try to post more photos tonight or this weekend.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>>>Can you post another picture with the tail straight out so you can see the thickness of the tail? A female will usually have a thicker base in relation to the length.
