Hello,

We have a Rio Grande Cooter and a Mexican Ornate Slider. We do not know the gender and were hoping someone here could help us!

Any help is appreciated!

Early guess is Cooter is female, Slider is male.

I would say that both of them looks female. Will need more pictures to confirm.

@hyzhenry what are the exact features that need to be seen to make a determination?
