Hi, I have a baby horsfield Tilly, was born this year although not sure of which month she's about 2/3 long and sits perfectly in the palm of my hand, how old will she have to be before I will know if she's a boy or a girl, I've assumed she I don't know why. 

If it's 2 or 3" SLC it is very unlikely to have hatched this year.

I've just realised in my other post I wrote 2/3 cm this isn't right, I've measured her and she's just over 2 inches, that's interesting re not being hatched this year, I wish I could upload a pic as I'm sure her she'll looks like it's growing to fast on one side, again probably down to how she has been kept before, I'm going to go back and speak to them, my husband didn't know any better and didn't consult me as she was a gift, is there any other way I can send you a pic of her Tom as you obviously know your tortoise stuff and I'd be reassured if you see her shell, I'll try uploading again.

I did it I think, if you look at her scutes, it appears as if one side of them is growing faster than the other, she was like this when I got her

No new pic & I can't help I'm afraid. Do you have a techno friend?

I've emailed them and am awaiting a response if no reply I'll go in.

All the same pic.. Nothing unusual - more pics needed svp.

Oh I'm sorry I thought the picture wasn't showing up I'll upload another

Can't see a serious problem.

Ive since taken her to a reptile vet and they have said she is ok, but I'll be happier once you confirm this thanks TomTom

Pic only shows part of tort..

Relaxing, thank you for all your help, you have been a star to a very panicky new mum
