I was guessing male because of the length of the tail, and it’s girth at the base. Water turtles differ in that way from land ?

You are correct in that males have the thicker longer tail generally speaking. I really can't make out the tail in the picture, but I admit I did not look closely enough at it. Female snappers are one of the species here in North America that still have a large tail and it's really determined how low or high the vent is on the tail for determining the sex.

I really just determined female off the behavior of it being on land. While males will leave the water, females are more apt to do so at this time of year (Spring to Summer) while searching for a nesting spot. I could totally be mistaken though...

    Well, managed to get my hair cut. M. does a great job. Only balded me on one side one time. People thought it was a "style" :lol:
    And a whole lot of reading. And some tv binging.

    M. has decided on what she may try. I shudder to think, but you know she may catch on to all of this a lot quicker than me. She only wants one or 2 flavors, so the house may still be standing when she's done. Not sure when she's experimenting yet. Keep good thoughts for me!!!!:w00t::shock:

    Have a great rest of your day, wherever you are....:):wub:

    I think I may work on a couple recipes tomorrow. I want to mix a couple Yoghurt Drinks and a couple Ice Cream cones. I put aside some others also. I need to get them on a list or something. Maybe just get them all written on my little pad paper and keep them together.

    I've been meaning to mix that yogurt drink recipe that Red posted a while back but haven't gotten around to it yet. My steep box is pretty full and I think if I put one more mod into rotation the bench is going to crumble.

    What's the recipe? Just checked the blog but didn't see it.

    Almost always box turtles on the road will be male, hunting for a little nooky. Generally, their tail is thicker, and the width extends down farther than females, at least in the Gulf Coast variety. I don’t think most people would want to flip a snapper over just to see what it is lol. But….The babies here have a beautiful greek key design on their plastron. And, nope, no idea if their mamas and daddies do. I like all ten fingers right where they are
