How to tell if a red eared slider turtle is male or female?

how can you tell if a red eard slider turtle is male or female

Answer #1

question…what does this have to do with love and relationships… anyways There are fairly distinct differences between the male and female red eared slider, but they may not be obvious until the turtle reaches sexual maturity. For males, this is about they time they reach 4 inches in length (about 2-5 years old). Females are sexually mature when they reach 6-7 inches in length (may take 5-7 years). Male red eared sliders have much longer claws on their front feet than females. As well, the tail of males is longer and thicker. The cloaca is located farther from the body in males, and males also may have a slightly concave (curved inward) plastron

Answer #2

The female is bigger and grows faster than the male.
