Male Russian tortoises have longer tails and their cloaca (anal opening) is more slit-like. They tend to carry their tails to one side, tucked under their shell. They also have a spur, a hook-like projection at the tip of their tale. All males have spurs, but some females can also have them. A female Russian tortoise has a fat, wedge shaped tail and her cloaca looks like a asterisk (*). It is very hard to tell if a Russian tortoise is male or female if its shell (from behind neck to where it ends above tail) is less than 5 inches long.

How can you tell a tortoise from a turtle?
Tortoises or land turtles are land-dwelling reptiles of the family of Testudinidae, order Testudines. Like their marine cousins, the sea turtles, tortoises are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises tend to be diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals.
