Males have longer claws in their front legs. The cloaca (posterior opening) in females is located closer to the carapace (the shell covering the top of a turtle's body) than in males.

Aside from the longer claws on the male take a look at the Plastron (bottom of the shell) which is flat on a female and concave on a male. This is an adaption to help him not fall off during mating.

You can tell if your turtle is a male or female by looking at its tail because a male has a longer tail or a male has longer claws.
