I just can\'t figure it out!
Ok, I have two painted turtles. One has a round, arched shell, is green in coulor, has a red/orange plastron and has more smooth features on it\'s face. My other one is a bit bigger, with a flat, oval shaped shell, is grey in color, it\'s plastron is yellow with black and it\'s face has a longer nose then that of the other one.
Are they a different sex or is this just genetic differences? _________________ ·Owner of Keiko and Shamu the midland painted turtles· |

the small, arched shelled one is a male. The larger, flat shelled one is a female.
