Any turtle that has really long claws is most likely a male. That includes Eastern Painted Turtles. Other traits of the Eastern Painted Turtle are 2 yellow spots behind each eye and white stripes running down the throat. Red or orange stripes running down the legs and tail. The shell can be dark green to black in color, with golden or yellow stripes going horizontally across the shell. There might be a bit of a orange or yellow vertical stripe running down the middle of the shell. There are also red circles with red half circles and then a red dot in the middle, going around the edge of the shell.

Do male painted turtles have fat short tales?

No, male painted turtles will have long tails and claws, narrow shells, concave plastrons, and the cloaca is far down the tail, there is a large gap between the start of the tail and the cloaca. Female painted turtles have short tails, wide shells, short claws, flat or convex plastrons, and the cloaca is tucked up under the shell at the start of the tail. Although gender can be determined by the length of the tail, I find that it is not the easiest way. I find that how far down the tail the cloaca is, is the best and most accurate way of determining gender.
