The male has a cup-like depression toward the forward half of the plastron (the bottom shell). It's there so he can mount the female without having to stand on his tail to fertilize her. The female's plastron is flat. Hi, I own hermann's tortoises, a male and a female. Differentiating them is very easy if its properly done - FEMALES have smaller and shorter tails. Their shell is a bit popping out around their legs, what I mean is that the shell doesn't go under like you would suppose (sorry for my english, I'm from Europe...). The reason for that shell is that the males bite them on these poppings. MALES have longer, thicker tails with pointed tips. Also, if both of the animals are the same age, the female is usually a little bigger than the male.

Breeding blue tongue lizards involves housing a male and female together, providing them with a suitable habitat and diet, and ensuring they are in good health. Mating occurs naturally, and the female will lay eggs about 3-4 months later. The eggs should be incubated until they hatch, and the baby lizards should be cared for separately once born.
