Hi SAMPERTH,

For your info, Pic 1 - 2 is the smaller star; Pic 3 - 5 is the bigger star.

Pls help to see clearly again of their gender.

Thanks a million!! thumbup.gif

From this pic the long claw may say its a her instead !!

So pic is hard to say , i need to hold it feel it to be 100% sure !!

You did mention the plastron a bit concave - thats not the best way to sex ( if kept incorrectly some male can have flat plastron or female can also have slight concave )

Cheers

Now I am more rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

So now u r saying the smaller star is female as well? Compare to the bigger star, this smaller star has a thick tail.

How can I be 100% sure?

Sorry to bother you again.. blush.gif

Found this pic on my desktop ( download from internet )

See how the V is quite straight on the Female - so no straight forward answer when come to sexing some tortoise !!
Cheers

True, the smaller star has a flat plastron too..

Important for me to determine the gender of my 2 star as that will determine my next purchase. Need to find out the answer.

Many thanks to you, SAMPERTH!! thumbup.gif

Anyone can tell me if my leopard here is healthy or not? Is the white line consider growth or the shell is not growing dy?

Hi mic_tcs,

Sorry for imposing on your post! tongue.gif

Wow.. how big is your leopard? It looks like a male from the plastron but the tail is quite short. Still small?

I read it somewhere saying that the pink line in the middle of the plastron is the growth line.

The anal scute is supposed to be longer covering the tail.

Just sharing my limited knowledge.. shakehead.gif

He should be a male. About the anal scute, I'm not sure. But I do have the concern that the shell is not growing.

Hi mic_tcs,

icon_rolleyes.gif

The reason why I am highlighting the short anal scute is because my smaller star is exactly having the same problem! The growth compared to my other star is also much slower.. Plus it has sprayed legs.. hmm.gif

All the best for your leopard!!

Btw, I just got myself my leopard tortoises rclxm9.gif

I think could be same case as mic_tcs's Leopard !!

From the picture you attach - I could only see growth line on the plastron !!

Hi Sifu SAMPERTH,

Thank you for your comment.. thumbup.gif

This star has splayed legs. Plus growth is only 0.4cm since July 2012. Very slow compared to my other star.

You mean she has fused scutes???

Confirmed she is female?

Tq again..

Wow.. when will I ever attain your status??? rclxub.gif

By the way, just need sifu's advice:

I noticed 1 of my star keeps eating the cuttlefish bone. Will there be a possibility of calcium overdorsed, or evening poisoning?

And is there any reason why my 2 star always like to stay in the hide box? Very rarely I see them out in the sun..

Thank you..
