[louie&rascal01]

how do u sex turtles. ive been told that a female will grow faster and will have a shorter fatter tail. and a male will have long front clas and a long narrow tail. is this true? and how old do the turtles have to be for you to be able to classify the sex?

Males will have the hicker, longer tail. You'll have to wait a couple of years or until they are about 4" long.
