Other Turtle Discussion :: Im confuse...

[Azaria]

Im kinda confuse about the sex... I always though mine could be a female but... I see now male characterists than female ones... have you see the pic of Lili what do you think?

[SpotsMama]

How long is Lili? Until the shell is about 4" long you can't really tell.

I can't quite tell from your picture, but it sort of looks like Lili is growing a pretty long tail, like a male. However, her/his nails are still pretty short. It may be that she/he is a male in transition (puberty) and his nails may start to grow soon. My understanding is the tail grows long and thick before the nails sprout out.

But the picture is a bit small, I could be wrong.

[Azaria]

I will take another pic for tomorrow... I saw that tail thickening too...

[Azaria]

Check these pics I took today.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK IS A HE/SHE?

[industrial_girl_2000]

Congratulations, she is a girl. Her tail is tiny & so are are small nails!

[jenaero]

I agree. Female

[Azaria]

Ohhh what a relive.... I didnt want a male called Lily

[Muirner]

How old is your female? Sooner or later she may wish to lay eggs... that will be a fun time!

[Azaria]

January, 2007 she will be six. I think I need to plan a nesting area in her new tank.

[SpotsMama]

Yep, she's a girl. The first picture was just emphasizing her tail - never a kind thing to do to a girl!

[Azaria]

Ohhhh I know!!! Bad pic the first one... lol

You rhymed!!! LOL We've got a poet here!!

[Muirner]

i dont see the rhyme?

[CountryGirl68]

The Tail and nails part - not the first sentence. That's why I separated it. I like poetry, so I see it. Maybe not??

[Muirner]
