Hi I have the same problem. My 3 year old boy who has before now flashed me his manhood is being butted by my much larger 3 year old female.
I was going to seek vet advice and have my larger tortoise sexed just to check she in infact a she but im almost certain that she is.

Is it possible to a female to dominate a male. Im reallly hoping she is a girl as I want to keep them together always. She is much larger that my certain boy and seems to get on with him alot of the time. But when she's in a mood he has to stear clear of her. There ike a little old married couple a lot of the time.

Any clues anyone ive have them since they were 2 and the almost 4 now.
Thank you.
