If their shells are under 4 inches in length, then there is no way to tell with any accuracy. You have to wait until the turtle grows to that size.
Males have very long front nails (but don't cut them...it is normal for the nails to look VERY long) and a thicker longer tail.
Females have a very short tail & very short front claws.
