The curved/flat plastron tidbit doesn't apply religiously to RES or other aquatics since they mate in water and don't need the extra stability. If there is a curve, it won't be a reliable way to tell gender.

Yeah, that's what I think. Males will also have a longer nose/snout, but hard to tell sometimes.
