Female but a bit too young to be sure. I think they generally look female until they start developing male characteristics if they are male.

I don't know at what age the difference starts to be noticable though.

I'd say most likely a female but wouldn't guarentee it.

The larger RFs don't show sure signs of sex until ther are about 7 to 8 inches.

Unhappy

Ot oh.......
I was told she was a male when I purchased her. But when I did some research just to check I was shocked, hence I have been putting it off for a week.
Maybe Princess Baldrick???

Cool

Baldricka was the first thought.
Baldrickette.?
Princess Baldrick?
Might have to go for a full change and call her Velouria or Polly (You're into music, you should see where I have got these names from )

Pixie is a cute name, so is princess baldrick! She's still to small to be certain though...

Baldrella?

Baldrick can still be a girl. If the name suits then keep it, I don't think the tortoise would mind!
