they both are great pets but
if you are looking for a smaller one go with the male it can grow up to 8 inches
but a female can grow up to 10 inches the smaller females are 8 inches so go with the female for big and male for small
I work at a big chain pet store and have cared for a couple different kinds of tortoises but I own a male Hermann's named Lockjaw, and he has his ups and downs. He's super friendly and actually likes to be handled, comes when you call him for new food (seriously), loves cherry tomatoes, and has been healthy since I got him. In general, I'd go for a male because they don't get as huge, especially if you want to keep it indoors for the most part; he's full grown at about six inches and the females can get to be ten inches and much chunkier. I've heard the females are moodier as well. I will say that he eats a TON and always has, and compared to the younger females with smaller tails I have cared for, his poops are huge, way bigger than you think would come out of something so small. If you spot clean it doesn't ever really become a problem but I've gone away and come back to my whole basement smelling like tortoise poop and a dirty aquarium (the urine smells like low tide). His tank is 50 gallons but that is even too small for him because Hermann's are so active, and it takes up an entire coffee table. We let him roam the house if he's being really active in his tank and it's cold outside. With that in mind you would need a significantly bigger habitat for a female when she's inside (depending on your climate you could keep her mostly outside though and just bring her in to hibernate, I live in New Hampshire, not really an option). The summers with either/or would be really fun, they like being outside and mostly sleep during the winter months anyway.
Hope this is helpful

Female ball pythons become larger, so if you want a big ball python then a female.
There is not much of a differece. Females tend to be less aggresive, but males are usually calmer and not as jumpy. So, it just depends on what you rather have.

Some words that can be made from the letters in tortoise are:Iireisititsororeotterrestriotriserisottoriteroeroostrootroserotrotesetsirsitsitesittersootsoresortsotstirstoretesttietiertirestitertotoestootoottootsietoretorsotortetottotetriestriotrot
His symbol is the tortoise because when he was very young, he sneaked out of the cave that his mother and him were sleeping. While he was walking, he saw a tortoise and he killed the tortoise. After, he used the tortoise's shell to make a lyre.
The Tunisian tortoise, Furchulachelys naebulensis, is a very rare and endangered tortoise. It is protected to the level of CITES appendix 1 and any offered for sale or trade must have an article 10 certificate and be fitted with a microchip if they are 10cms long or longer. They are a very beautiful and active tortoise. There are breeders around but they are few and far between. Tunisian tortoises are not the easiest torts to keep in the UK, being very prone to illness if the conditions are not just right. They must NOT be hibernated in the winter. You may be better advised to buy a Horsfields, Hermanns or Mediterranean Spur Thighed which are far easier to find and easier to keep.

Yes, Esio Trot is a tortoise in Roald Dahl's children's novel of the same name. In the story, Mr. Hoppy tries to win the affection of Mrs. Silver by pretending that he can make her tortoise grow larger.
Boiling it in water is the key to softening it.
A Russian Tortoise could mate out of season, but you would have to adjust temperature and lighting in the terrarium to replicate the conditions of the breeding season, which is soon after hibernation. Sometimes, although not usually the case, they can mate completely out of season. Babies might not be immediate, the female can hold the male's sperm in her body for up to three years. If she does get pregnant, the eggs should come shortly after. Make sure both the male and female are healthy and well fed, otherwise they won't mate. Also, the female will most likely seem reluctant at first.
people make new laws and dont litter
