How old are the red eared slider turtles when you know the gender?
The gender of a turtle does not affect the age of the turtle. You can tell the age of your turtle by looking at the layers on the turtles scute. Scutes are what makes a turtles shell look quilted. Each scute sheds about once a year, revealing a new scute and leaving a layer on the new scute. By seeing how many layers are on a scute you can tell how many years old your turtle is. Example. 2 layers = 2 years, 10 layers = 10 years. A turtle with no layers will be less than a year old.

How would sudden spoiling vs scute mob resolve if sudden spoiling is activated at the beginning of my opponents upkeep while they have scute mob in magic the gathering?
The opponent would start his upkeep, scute mob's ability would go on stack, you react with sudden spoling, at which point scute mob becomes 0/2 and loses all abilities. This won't prevent the ability already on stack from resolving tough, so if he has 5 lands or more scute mob would get 4 +1/+1 counters leaving him a 4/6 for the rest of the turn.
Can tape rek a turtles shell?
I don't think that tape would be good for a turtle's shell. It could melt then stick to and burn the turtles shell when he is under his heat lamp or take off a scute or two when you tear it off. Taking off a scute early will reveal the bone under and that can develop an infection and hurt the turtle. If you are having trouble telling your turtles apart and that is why you want to put tape on one then I would recommend looking at the turtles bellies or plastrons. The plastrons often have unique marking on them which would make it easy to tell the turtles apart. Eventually you will be able to tell the turtles apart just by looking at their shells. I can and I have 15 turtles :). But anyway please don't put tape on your turtle, it could fall off in the water and then get eaten by a turtle too.
