Sexing my painted turtle? (DU Warning)
Hi everyone. I need some help trying to figure out if my turtle is a boy or girl. I also want to know what kind of subspecies it is if anyone knows. Here is a pic, it is not very good because it is off a 1.2 megapixel pda camera.

Sorry for how big the pics are. If you would rather me change them to a link just tell me. Im not sure how to resize so......
Re: Sexing my painted turtle? (DU Warning)
I changed 'em to links for you. Check the stickies in the Site Info forum for information on how to resize pictures. There's something in the FAQ section, as well as a couple stickies about how to post pictures that should have the info as well.

Concave belly = male convex = female

So it is a female? The belly doesnt curve in like a convex, but it seems more flat that concave.

Concave means "curving in"....Convex means "bulging out." I think you got them mixed up. And a quick google shows that Brad is right on the concave/male and convex/female.

looks like a western painted turtle (C. p. belli).

Oh. O.K. I thought he meant My turtle had a Concave, And that male=convex,
so i thought he meant ti was a female.
Thanks for the reply mr. python on what subspecies it is.
