Posted: Sat Mar 16, 2019 6:37 pm Is my turtle male?
I have a red eared slider and he is about 7 months old I was told. I got him in December and the woman who previously owned him told me he was 4 or 3 months old. Today I changed his tank water and I was looking at him swimming around. Then he started doing a thing he does a lot, he just stands up on a big rock in his tank and balances. So it’s really cute so I was going to go get my phone and as I was getting ready to take a picture, a black penis looking part comes out of the middle of his tail. I asked some people I knew her were skilled with turtles when I would be able to tell his gender and they said he would have to be an adult by then. But it looked like a penis so I’m assuming it is. I wish I got a photo but have any of you had the same experience? Or am I wrong and it’s not his penis?
