Okay guys, help me out. Ruby? Or Ruben? Thanks! I wonder if my haunting suspicion is correct…
Ruby definitely looks like a female to me. Her plastron is a bit concave and from the angle of the picture her anal scutes look a little wide but regardless her tail is short and wide. From my experience (reading about it & with russian torts) the tail is the best way to tell once he/she is no longer a hatchling.
