How can you tell a boy turtle from a girl turtle?

Question

They are just water turtles with a red mark on the side of their heads. You know, the ones you get at the pet store.

Answer 1

A red eared slider
Males have very long tales, while females' tails are short and stubby
Males have very, very long claws.
Males can grow to be 8-10 inches, and females can grow to be 10-12 inches (when properly cared for)

Note: sexing red-eared sliders is almost impossible to do by eye during their first year. My slider is about two years old, and I'm only just now becoming confident that it is a male.

Answer 2

Different methods of sexing are appropriate for different turtle groups.
Few hard and fast rules apply, and the ease of sex
determination varies considerably between species, but some good guidelines are:
•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.
•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.

Answer 3

The turtle that nags a lot will be the girl turtle.
