not sure if this is good enough.

a little girl

i'm going to confuse the poor ting lol, how do you tell?

it's like having a scan on a baby lol

i'm just going by the size of the tail but there are other ways to tell
i am no expert and as i have no experience with leopards i may well be wrong
wait til terry comes along, he can give you better advice

ok thanks, will see if he notices this thread.

TERRY!!!!

come see what my tortie is please

hi Maz im sorry if i sound a little unsure but some juveniles can be very difficult to sex.i can understand where it may appear this is a female the shape of the anal scutes are more u than v,yet from what i have seen as they grow the shape of this ones tail and the way the scutes are growing out i really feel this is a male.i will show you a couple of adult pictures so you can understand why it is so difficult to sex the youngsters,and yet relatively easy for adults.
