I've been really busy lately with school and the band I'm in and being sick. But I wanted to consult you guys and see what you thought.
Both of my turtles are only around 18 months old, but I noticed Jager's claws are at least a few millimeters longer than Stoli's. So I'm think Jager might be male.
I just took these close up pictures.
What do you think?

To hard to tell, seen plenty of females with longer claws. Tail is best way to tell.

Male noses are also longer, so you can watch for that too.

@steve: ooo that's good to know! I have so much fun trying to guess what they'll grow up to be.

@thinkskater: haha thanks :). I like them. It's crazy how much smaller than my hand they are.
