Look between the legs of the millipede for the gonopods or reproductive organs in the third or seventh segment. You are looking for small, stumpy organs that create a gap in the legs. A female millipede will only have a gap between the legs.

How can i tell a male from a female millapede?

Hi! There are several kinds of millipedes. Generally they are difficult for the amateur to tell apart by sex. Male giant millipedes have specialized legs on their seventh body segments which are tucked away in pouches (these are the gonopods). Females and immature millipedes of both sexes don't have these special legs. If you want to breed millipedes, the care sheet in the related links suggests putting as many millipedes together as you can and letting them have at it. If you find one with those special legs (which will look like a gap, as they're tucked away) then you should select a millipede of the same size or larger as your male and hope this is a female. They prefer to breed in damp places and lay eggs under the soil.

How do you tell male and female aqudatic turtles apart?

Well, male and female aquatic turtles are easy to tell apart in a few years. If they are not at least 4inches long, you cannot tell what is a male or a female. A female is usually much more bigger than males when they are grown-up. Also, a female has a more broader head (neck) than a male. A male has a longer, thicker tail than a female, and it has much more longer, nastier nails than a female. Those are about it how you can tell them apart. I hope this helped you.
