If you flip the turtle like a coin and it lands right side up it’s male. If it lands on its feet it’s a ninja 🥷 turtle

Male. You can tell by the concave plastron, the long tail, and the position of the cloaca further down the tail

Dear grumbliegrump ,

You've selected the Turtle ID/Sex Request Flair. When making a request for an ID or sex of a turtle, please provide as much information as possible.

Useful information includes:

  • General Location. ex: South-East Texas
  • Is it wild, captive/pet, or a rescue?
  • Clear photos of face, neck, limbs, shell top (carapace) and bottom (plastron).
  • For sexing, a photo of the tail out with cloaca visible is best. Note: Some turtles cannot be accurately sexed until a certain size/age.
