What species is it? Do you know?

Well as i asked as you refered to the turtle as "it"

now I don't know much about turtles..but if they're anything like tortoises you tell their sex from their tail (which you cant see from their plastron shots)

or a side on plastron shot.. so you can see if there is a concave bit on the plastron.

like I say though, i'm really not sure with turtles

because im not sure on sex ive been thinking female since i saw it i cant see any concaving on the plastron but im not 100%

Dont know about all species of turtle, but generally females tend to be larger and males have longer claws.

Yeah but if you get a general idea of the species overall size SCL and measure yours it should give an indication - providing you know its age.
I also know with the lads when they are in water sometimes the penis is easily visible and often causes inexperienced owners to think something is seriously wrong - I dont know how much water those guys require, cause for example Box Turtles dont have a lot, whereas what i have do.

Do you know a lot about them??
