its confirmed by me

a few years ago when my gf got the turtle as a gift i did the research on how to sex it and the main way is the claws so i had her send a picture of the claws and it proved to be a male and thank you

Ah, if you know it's a male then you can plan on getting a permanent tank for him (though bigger is better).
