Aw, isn't he cute! I just love the expression on the face of mud/musk turtles. I'm not real sure, but from the position in the tail of the cloaca, I'm going to guess male.

Thats a female, tail would be much larger and longer.

Thank you for the reply...we have always thought he was a boy and if he is how long of a tail are we talking?? Thanks

Looks like a girl to me! Males tails vary in size depending on the turtle/tortoise type

I agree female

 

[Diamondbacks4Life]

This isnt the exact subspecies you have but its tail would be the exact same size and thickness if male

Wow thank you
