Hope this helps too: Painted turtles will have the long nails too in males. Same dimorphism as sliders. Also, males underside (plastron) with be more concave, females will remain flat. Females tend to get a large dome shaped shell and get larger in terms of length and width. Males tend to be more flat (carapace or top shell) and sleek looking. I’m not sure if DBT get the dome shell but they look so cute! Great video!
Definitely true! I haven't noticed the plastron concavity enough in turtle species to be an effective source in determining sex, but in tortoise species definitely!!!
My baby painted turtle's eyes are bulging. What can I do to help it. She hasn't eaten since her eyes started bulging. I've been using eye drops. They aren't helping
Thank you for creating such a detailed and concise video. I’ll be using this info in (fingers crossed) a year to see what we have! Congratulations on 1,000 subs!
All along I thought my turtle was a boy.... she laid eggs today 😭 at 7 years ... looks like it’s a girl! 😭😫 now I’m scared of her becoming egg bound (she’s a reeves turtle)
How do you keep you tank clean like that? The only reason y I am asking is because I just started and have 3 little baby turtles and I manually take all the water out of my tank, smh it should be an easier way to clean the tank without taking all of it out correct? Or no, please respond thnx
I know I'm two years late watching this but on May 19 this year it'll be my Cumberland Slider, Merman's first gotcha day! 😄 Anybody got ideas on celebrating?
Great video! Awesome looking turtle me and the gf just got a yellow belly the other day I think it's a female she thinks it's a male so we're gonna see as he or she gets older but im dead set it's a female
I just got my slider today and my mother but we both don’t know yet what we have we both already have males turtles already pekoe already love you video cause it helps have a better idea of what we have love your animals as well thanks again and we’ll be watching more of your videos
I'm pretty sure paint turtle can be sexed by nail length. Well for the western painted turtle cause I looked it up cause I have one and when I got him he was about hatchling size so I was curious about the gender. But he's got very long nails now that's he's bigger.
I feel my turtle is outside in the yard and I moving grass And when I moved the grass there is an internal hatched out of the grand it is a little baby egg baby turtle
It was so beyond obvious to me that WillieEarl & BuelaMae were different sexes; I could tell even when they were in that God-Horrible plastic bowl. Their personalities are so different as well.

sadly, you can't keep them housed together... i had male and female siblings together since they were born and sadly after 3 years, the female decided to bite his leg almost off...male turtles begin to want to bang bang after a year old. i wish i could of kept them together but it ended up being a tragedy. :(
Hello and Good evening, I think I saw you do a Calab with Turtle Girl. Watching your video is why I came here to tell the sex of my False Map Turtle and it's killing me not knowing what it is as I have already named HIM. But looking at it just a min ago, he's a little over a year, I don't know what his hatch date was he's a rescue, he's only 2 1/2" Shell, short nails & the Cloaca is near the shell and not the bottom of the tail. Is it still to early to tell or is this really a Female? I don't hear anyone of the turtle people ever mention a False Map Turtle and very few mention a Map turtle why is that? I hear Sliders, Cooters & others more then Maps.
i could show you two 2016 ndbts and i swear you would have no idea what they are... suppose to be a pair..but both are nearly identical...tails all same
i asked the breeder for his opinion...i have 2015, 2x2016, 2017 all females... (on that note never had a male turtle/tortoise in my life...) and sorry i dont use istagram...
I have two (presumably) female florida cooters but I've never really could tell if they were both female but we thought the slightly bigger one was a boy but i believe its a girl. I've seen the smaller one do that little dance thing but i swear shes a girl??? they have the same tails and nothing to tell them apart besides their size.
Best food for turtle? My turtle is 4 month of age and the eat meat and chicken only. So after the food left in pond , water become too dirty and stinking, so guide me if filter required or any other solutions
I’m still kinda confused, I have a turtle but his tail looks nothing like the ones that were shown. My ones tail is almost the same length as his body but the claws are all the same length. I’m so confused can someone help me
Hey man very beautiful turtles but i have a question. I have 2 turtles one with brown carapace and little yellow and orange to yellow plastron with black spots. The other one is black carapace and all yellow plastron. Both have an "s" shape on their heads. What type are they?
hi do you have a video of how to determine a turtle's age? pictures dont really help and i think a video would be best. i have a large female yellow belly slider.
My red eared slider has a very big and thick tail all the way through but it's head is also big like a female slider would be, but it has quite long nails also, so im really confused. Its size for male is also very big. So is it a female or just an abnormally huge male slider??
My “female” turtle has all the female characteristics, but “she” keeps doing the little mating dance with her hands all the type, to my fingers mostly. Isn’t that a male characteristic? She’s a red eared slider of about 4 inches.
I have heard of females doing it too to be honest! At 4in if her nails aren't totally long, most likely it is female. Sometimes they do it territorially as well!
I have a baby slider and i believe he is a male because he is round and females are oval. Plus i observed he pooping and it seems to come from the middle of the tail. The baby nails still not mature enough to tell and the size i don't have any other to compare. I wish i could show a picture.
Congrats on 1k! You turtley deserve it!!
Thank you!!!! It really means a lot to me 😊😊 Thank you for all of your continued support
Hey Turtle Girl!

DanTheGuppyMan you’ll see it more in males (sliders and painteds) as they get to be about 4 or 5 inches.
So cute
Thanks for letting us know how to tell them apart with the tails!
So the weird move IS A MATING DANCE 😱
I just found your video today, your terrapins are just beautiful. Such lovely patterning on their heads. Love them, thanks for the education :)

Hey .. everyone Moniee-Mon, is watching thanks for the info vedios keep doing what'cha do best God bless ya !.
I love your aqarium and your turtles! 😍🐢
Cool I like turtles you are explaining this very correctly so yeah
Those turtles are beautiful.
So that’s why one of my turtles was waving their hands at another turtle
But it doesn’t make since since he is only around 2 and a half and not 6 so why does he do the mating dance
Great video! Awesome looking turtle me and the gf just got a yellow belly the other day I think it's a female she thinks it's a male so we're gonna see as he or she gets older but im dead set it's a female
That’s because us ladies is HAWT is more ways than one. Real talk 😅 they look like armored dragon fruit

Great information, thank you!
It’s nice to hear cause I have 4 turtles and 2 baby tortoise
Did you call me a turtle nerd hmm
Thanks!
Thank u now i am certain about the gender of my turtle
Happy to help my friend!!!
I have a African Side Neck Turtle , Im not even sure what I have and I had my turtle for 4 months.
My turtle have differences, the cloaca is different , their tales look different but I’m confused because both have short nails
Tails is a better way to tell compared to nails. Nails is usually in sliders and painted turtles, not other species!
Great job and correct info!
legend says he still hearts comments to this day...
Thanks
Thank for this, it was very helpful. But my turtle bit me
Finally I know what my yellow bellies are!
