How to tell the gender of a baby sulcata tortoise
Turn the tortoise over onto its back.
Examine the plastron (bottom shell). The female's shell will be flat; the male's will be concave down near the tail.
Measure the anal scute, which is the part of the plastron just above the tail. The male will have a wider angle around the tail than a female.
