Yes, you are welcome to send pictures of your Radiated Tortoise for sex determination. From experience we can usually make a relatively safe statements about the sex of larger animals. With small animals, however, a sex determination from the picture is a challenge even for us and usually not possible. Often only a tendency can be made out. In order to be able to determine the sex as precisely as possible, a good image quality with an optimal shooting angle is a prerequisite. Also crucial is the degree of relaxation of the intimate area of the pictured tortoise. For sex determination we need a clear image of the anal region and a view of the plastron. Especially the tail with the cloacal opening, relaxed and not attached to the body, should be clearly visible.
Please note that a sex determination from a picture always allows for misinterpretations and therefore we can not make any binding porognoses about the sex. If interested in a non-binding assessment, send the image material by e-mail to info@radiata.ch. We will get back to you within a reasonable period of time.
