thought they where average size for the age, plus we rescued them, they've grow a lot since we've had them as they where really tiny

no offense but when it comes to sexing torts pet shops and rep shops aren't the best to ask.i was told two definate females and i know for definate one is male..he's been flashing us enough! Both look male to me on ur pics but the quality isn't great n the angles aren't ideal tho. maybe sue will have more of a clue

Agreed Katie and never ever take a tortoise to one of those places. It only takes one person not to have washed their hands for you to have two dead torts on your hands in the very near future
They do look to be male from the pics, but as mentioned a clear close up would be better to see the vent positioning and shape. See if you have a friend who would load the pics for you or send privately to wizzasmum@aol.com and I will see if I can edit them enough to tell.
