I've googled without success... Please. What is a "TSF" tortoise?

[zovick]

"TSF" stands for "Temperature Sexed Female" which means the egg was incubated at a high temperature which SHOULD produce females in many species, but as Adam said in the ad , it is not guaranteed to do so.

For whatever it is worth, I would say the tortoise is a female based on the anal scute morphology shown in the photo.
