How can you tell if a turtule is a boy or girl?

Answer 1

The following are not clean-cut rules, and not all work for all
turtles, but using a combination of them, will usually help
you determine the gender of your turtle.

* Males often have fatter, bigger tails than females.

* Males have the vent (cloaca) about 2/3 from the shell towards
the tip of the tail. Females have it closer to the shell.

Other, less reliable methods:

* Males have a flat or concave plastron (bottom shell) - so it will
fit better on top of the female. Females have a flat or convex
plastron - so there is more space for eggs.

* Male sliders grow long claws on their front legs.

It is pretty much impossible to tell the gender of a baby turtle.
Since all of these are secondary gender indicators, they develop as
a turtle grows up. How soon you will be able to tell, depends on the
size and age of the turtle; I can't really tell you when, but it may
be a couple of years.

Answer 2

Ask your 'turtule'.Your 'turtule' sounds special, it probably has special powers.Next time when picking a pet you should probably get a turtle.Im sure they have less hassle than a 'turtule'.With a turtle you can take it to the vet and they can tell you the sex.

Answer 3

I had a turtle,but it depends on the species.Color,size,and age are factors but if you still can't tell,take it to a pet store or the vet.Turtle,not turtule.

Answer 4

All turtles and tortoises can sexed the same way, by looking at the tail. Generally when they reach 3-4" you will be able to sex them. Male turtles store their penis inside their tail, so it is thciker and often longer than the female's tail. The thing is it is easier wheny ou have two of the opposite sex to compare with.

There are secondary characteristics, but they are not always present:

Many male aquatic turtles (sliders, cooters, maps, painteds, etc.) will have longer front nails. Whne they are around 3-4" they will show.

Female turtles and tortoises, generally grow much larger than male turtles (sexual dimorphism), like how most male humans are bigger than female humans.

Box turtles and tortoises, the male's plastron (bottom shell) will be slightly concave.

Here is an excellent picture comparing the tail of a male and female cooter (scroll down int he link):
