Hello All! I\'ve recently been given two RES from a good friend. She was told that they were both males; however, is there some way I can tell?? I am pretty sure they are both the same sex, as my friend has had them for two years and no baby turtles. So, I suppose I\'m just curious. Thanks so much!

males: long finger nails(____)
more vibrant coloring
smaller

females: short fingernails(__)
less vibrant
larger

this only applys if they are full grown. and the size only if they are same age.if they arent matured that could be y they didnt mate. or the water wasnt warm enough. or maybe no intrest
