The main difference between male and female turtles is that the female turtle has a short and soft tail, a wider skirt, and the tail cannot naturally protrude out of the skirt, while the male turtle is the opposite, which is the most intuitive distinguishing feature.

Secondly, the female carapace is a rounder oval with a flat middle; Males are longer oval with a raised center. Finally, females are thicker with a cruciform abdomen and widely spaced hindlimbs, while males are thin with a king-curved abdomen and narrowly spaced hindlimbs.
