Expert Answer

Brazilian turtles can be sexed several ways. Female turtles are generally larger, rounder, and thicker, with short front-claw nails and short, thin tails; their carapace is short and wide with a flat plastron and no central dip.

Males are slimmer, with long front-claw nails and thick, long tails; their carapace is generally longer and narrower, and the anal scute on the plastron forms a deeper groove.
