We brought 2 turtles few years back. One was very dominant and pecked the other ones toes off. Now wondering if we’ve got males or females.

I’d see a vet to see if they know.

Had to LOL at this past. Not what one expects to see on MoMs. Sorry I have no idea how to tell males from females, but I did enjoy reading it 🙂

I think it depends on whether they’re long or short necked turtles firstly and then it’s got something to do with the size of their tails….I’m not sure of the specifics though. Maybe something for our friend Mr Google?
