How Do u Tell If your Turtle Is A Boy or Girl?

Answer 1

Depends on if this is an aquatic turtle or a tortoise. Aquatic turtles, the males will have very long (and I mean long - like Freddy Krueger) nails on the front feet, they use these to hold onto the female during breeding and to court her with before. Males also generally have fat tails that are longer than female's. The genital opening on the tail will be more towards the tip in a male, and more towards the body in a female. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

For most species:
MALE- longer tail with the vent opening in about the middle, and an in-curved belly (plastron).


FEMALE- short, wide tail with vent near the base, and flat or out-curved plastron

It is really hard to tell for sure with ANY turtle until it is approaching breeding age/size.

Other species have other details:
- bright eye color is a male in Eastern Box Turtles
- male Sliders and some other 'pond turtles' have long front claws
- some male tortoises have plastrons that have 'battering ram' extensions that stick out under their heads
- In many species, there is a color and size difference- usually the male is smaller (unless the males typically fight for the females) and more colorful- but not in all species.

Answer 3

If you mean a tortoise, then you can sometimes tell by the tail, females have longer tails that wil lean to one side and males have shorter tails that just point down. Females also have flaring shells at the back.
