How can I tell if my Russian tortoise is female or male?

by Yuio

How can I tell if my Russian tortoise is female or male?
I have searched the internet for an answer but haven't been successful. However, I think my tortoise is female she has stubby tail, but she held it to the side (this what male does, that's why I can't tell)

Have you tried looking at photos online to compare your tortoise with those that have been identified? You often need to see one tail compared with another tail to know which is which.

a female russian will have a shorter tail with a small * on the bottom of it, a male will have round and longer tail. Females will hold their tail to the side but the side they choose will change and sometimes it will not be to a side. The males usually favor a side and will keep their tail there.
