Adult male painted turtles and sliders have long nails on the front feet. Females and juveniles do not. The plastron (lower shell) of many turtles is concave in adult males and flat or even a bit convex in females. This is most pronounced in turtles with high-domed shells. In all adult turtles, look at the position of the vent. If it is under the upper shell (carapace), you have a female; if it is beyond the carapace, you have a male.
