I'm haveing trouble finding out what type of sex my Russian Tortoise is, it's shell covers it pretty well, can anone help? He lives in my back yard during the day, and in the house at night to protect it from Opossums, and Cats.
I think someone told me once, that eye color and leg color can determine the sex of a turtle. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the colors were.... I **THINK** (and don't quote me on this) males have red eyes and brighter spots on their legs while the females have orange eyes and darker spots...

I don't know if that's right--I'll look up some turtle websites to see if I can find the info...
