It is impossible to say at that age but so far is displaying female characteristics. What does it weigh as it looks very small for a four year old?

"The Leopard tortoise is a large and attractively marked tortoise, which has a wide distribution in sub-Saharan Africa, including recorded localities in southern Sudan,Ethiopia, Eastern Africa (including Natal), Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Angola and Southwest Africa. In this species males may attain a greater size than females, a characteristic shared with certain other members of the genus Geochelone, including Galapagos tortoises. The largest recorded example of Leopard tortoise remains "Domkrag" who lived for many years in the Addo National ElephantPark; this enormous tortoise measured 656mm and weighed 43kg. Unfortunately, he died in 1976 after becoming trapped in an antbear hole. By comparison, the largest recorded female measured 498mm and weighed 20kg."
