Male adult terrapins are smaller than the female and have long claws on their front flippers. The females are much larger and the rear openng on the shell is larger than the males to pass the eggs. The females tail is shorter and fatter than the males, the male uses the longer tail to inseminate the female. male terrapins have longer tails and nails
