The difference between a female snapping turtle and a male snapping turtle is the difference in their tales. Each snapping turtle has a small cirlce looking shape on theie tale. If it is a female snapping turtle, it's circle will be closer to the shell (or the butt) an if it is a male snapping turtle, the circle will not neccesarily be at the end of the tail, but it is certainly not near the shell (or butt). With most snapping turtles, it should be obvious, but with some, it is hard to tell, especially if their newborns (a week old or younger).

Females are bigger about two foot long shell
Male alligator snappers have thicker and longer tails.
I wonder how. The easiest way is to check the bottom of the tail. The male's vent/cloaca is near the middle, while the female's is near the base, at the edge of the plastron.
Male and Female snapping turtles show their gender difference mostly in the tail. The male's tale is thicker and longer than the female. Snapping turtles have a vent and the male's vent is further from the plastron.

You can see if a turtle is a male or female by their tail. A female will have a shorter tail than a male.
You can tell how old a Snapping Turtle is by it's size and how weathered its shell is
You usually can tell by their tale if its longer its a male if its shorter its a female.
the snapping turtle will run rateat you if you get to close and will most likely bite you.
The way you can tell a difference between the male and the female is because the female has orange eyes and a yellow throat, but with a male Spotted Turtle it has brown eyes and a tanned throat
you can tell if a turtle is male or female from the rings around its eyes
If it is a female the belly is darker
