@Courttknee888 We gave up trying to figure that out. Some sites say it depends on how the bottom of their shell looks. (flat vs concave) Others talk about the width of the area were the tail exits the shell. The place that sold one of the tortoises said it was a female. For all we know, we ended up with two males.
@MrImGerman the video shows the turtles in a 50 gallon tank. However the turtles are now out side in a temporary 100 gallon tank before they are introduced to a 10,000 to 11,000 gallon koi pond. The pond will be completed late Jan to early Feb 2012
Too many turtles for tank that size quickly outgrow and there not basking you should put some driftwood or anything they can rest on they seem to like doing that!!
the turtles were relocated to a larger tank about 8 months ago. The new tank is much larger with a floating area where they bask. Thank you for your concern.
hey can anyone tell me how big my turtle tank is? its 48 inches/ 4 feet long, 20 inches/ 1 foot and a half tall, and 12 inches/ 1 foot wide... how big is that???? and can you tell me what kinda turtle is better to hang out with out of the water, a RES or a YBS.. thanks.
I bought the sheets of .25 thick acrylic from lowes. Used a heat gun to bend the corners. Use welding glue for acrylic to adhere the panels. Sorry I did not film, it was a messy project. Acrylic shavings...etc.... oh, I used a router to cut out the openings and shape the corners and edges.
ya you cant sex baby tortoises your sulcatas should be able to be sexed at 3 years old but breeders sometimes temperature sex their tortoises with an incubator and usually make them female
How do you know if its a male and female? I was told you cant tell for a long time.

@WMRProduction As for the substrate, they are now on a bed of river rocks 20' x 15' with a water section they can walk into ...etc.

Cool. Glad there happy in a pool! What did you use one your ramp? As in traction to get out. And did they ever like to it?

Lowes also cares a 1/8 thick sheet. As far as thicker, .25 was the thickest they carried.
I do not recall the cost, but I purchased their pre-cut sheets... 24" x 48"
