The most important factor in determining sex is the tortoise's size. Until a male reaches 5" they often appear the same as a female. Some however show male characteristic at smaller sizes. However, I have been surprised on more than one occasion to find that my female was actually a male!
Females have a short stubby tail. The cloaca resembles an asterisk *
The tail of the male is much longer and usually is carried to the side. At the tip is curved hard "spur" that is used to help with mating. The female can also have a spur, but it is smaller. The cloaca resembles a long slit
