QUOTE(uzairi @ Sep 5 2007, 01:40 AM) ![]() Looks a bit like you.. I did post a basic guide in front, go and read it. Turtle sis, not tortoise. Or built a nice big place for them. Not advisable to release them there, you can see a lot of shell and bones of dead chelonians there. Why? Lack of care and awareness about the animals there. You can adopt it here also, they are ppl that would adopt it happily from you. i went there last month didnt see any shell or bones of dead chelonians |

QUOTE(StraxorX @ Sep 7 2007, 06:35 PM) erm..hello everyone, Depend on the species some smaller specimen cant be sexed correctly till quite big i had a 1 cute small tortoise. can i know how to check is the tortoise is male or female ? my little tortoise is lonely now and need to in love. Can you show us a pic of your tortoise showing the tail part from underside to help sexing it correctly ( make better guess ) QUOTE(camillenoir @ Sep 4 2007, 12:38 AM) depends on which turtle you're trying to differentiate... But our friend camillenoir has cover quite a few ground in a previous threadanyhow, for general sexing purposes: i) males have concave plastron, females have flat plastron ii) males have long front nails, females long hind nails iii) cloaca on males closer on tip of tails, cloaca on females closer to body. males usually have longer tails (the simple logic for the above traits on males are to help them mount females) other methods: i) in most species, females are bigger than males. so if any specimens had already exceeded male size, high probability is female. example: Star tortoise - males are normally no bigger than 7-8 inch, females get up to 11-12 inch. However in species such as Orlitia borneensis and those from Heosemys genus, males are usually bigger (from experience with H. grandis and H. spinosa) ii) coloration: males more often have brighter color, especially during breeding season. Example: male C.borneoensis had solid red 'hat', male B. baska are deep black. Their female counterparts had much duller coloration: please note that juveniles are usually not sexually dimorphic, so if any seller tells you how to differentiate baby RES through the color of their carapace, please smack them. fellow forumers please add if i miss out anything.
