Best Answer

Males often have fatter, bigger tails than females.

Males have the vent [ cloaca] toward the tip of the tail.

The female cloaca is closer to the shell.

Males have a concave bottom shell to fit better on top of the female during mating.

Females have a convex bottom shell to provide more space for eggs.
